What is Understanding Amputation and Management about?
Amputation is the removal of a limb through the bone or joint. It can be caused by injuries, infections, tumors or other conditions. There are different types including guillotine/open and closed amputations. The surgical procedure involves using a tourniquet, removing blood vessels and nerves, and creating skin flaps. Goals after amputation include managing pain, providing psychological support, preventing deformities through exercises and range of motion, and caring for the skin on the residual limb.
