Limb loss is more common than you might think. According to the Amputee Coalition, approximately 185,000 amputations occur in the United States each year, and, if trends continue to trend, 3.6 million people will be living with limb loss by 2050.
Suffering an amputation injury due to a catastrophic accident generally results in significant, long-term consequences for both the victim and their family.
Many victims are unable to return to their jobs after losing an extremity and require assistance for normal everyday tasks. In addition, some victims will suffer from Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), or Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, a disorder that creates the sensation of pain at the location of the missing limb.
