Are there ways to prevent amputation?
Amputations can stem from extreme accidents. In some accident cases the limb can be reattached depending on which body part was affected, the condition of the amputated limb, the time it happened relative to the time that person receives medical care, and the overall health of that person. People with diabetes can also be at risk of amputation. Complications from diabetes can result in amputation that can be prevented by using protective or custom molded shoes.
