Amputations Due to Nursing Home or Other Facility Neglect

Amputation is the surgical removal of all or part of a limb or appendage such as an arm, leg, foot, hand, toe, or finger. Amputations are primarily done to control pain or to stop the spread of infection, unfortunately in many cases amputations could have been prevented. According to the Encyclopedia of Surgery, the diseases and conditions that are most prevalent and lead to amputation of an extremity are:

• hardening of the arteries
• arterial embolism
• impaired circulation from diabetes
• gangrene (from bedsores)
• severe frostbite
• Raynaud’s disease
• Buerger’s disease

Amputations can physically and emotionally devastate a person and their family.
