Causes of Amputation

Diseases That Warrant Amputation
Some diseases, if they are not caught and treated in a timely fashion, can damage the tissue so severely that amputation is necessary. Those conditions include:
- Gangrene
- Frostbite
- Sepsis
- Tumors
- Bone or Bone Marrow Infections
Many of these conditions can be treated with antibiotics or minor surgery. A timely and accurate diagnosis is necessary to prevent extreme measures such as life-altering amputation.
