Amputation repair

Loss of a body part

• A body part that has been completely or partially cut off
• Bleeding (may be minimal or severe, depending on the location and nature of the injury)
• Pain (the degree of pain is not always related to the severity of the injury or the amount of bleeding)
• Crushed body tissue (badly mangled, but still partially attached by muscle, bone, tendon or skin)
