Can leprosy cause limbs to fall off?

Leprosy does not cause flesh to rot and fingers and toes to drop off. In the past, limbs that have been damaged because the person cannot feel pain have sometimes had to be amputated. Now that the disease can be detected early and cured completely, the need to amputate is very rare.
