Abstract

We define amputation as a removal of totally or partial part of an organ. Amputations can be caused by chronic diseases as cancer, infection and diabetes, or by a traumatic accident. Where, we discuss the differences between the two types of amputation. This paper is a case report on an amputee patient, the consequences in short e long term. We suggest possible interventions for psychological professionals and multidisciplinary healthcare team. Also, we discuss the lack of academic production about traumatic amputations.
