More than 1.7 million people in the United States are living with limb loss. According to National and Vital Health Statistics, about 1 in every 200 people in this country has had an amputation.

Causes of amputations include vascular disease, trauma and cancer-related amputations.

Estimates are that an average of more than 130,000 people are discharged from the hospital each year following an accidental or medical amputation. Additionally, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, which governs workplace safety, has numerous regulations in place meant to protect workers from amputation hazards.

Machine amputations commonly occur during set-up and adjustment of machines as well as cleaning, lubricating and maintenance.

Additionally, inoperable or missing safety guards, safety switches and other malfunctioning or missing devices can lead to an amputation injury.

Amputations can also result from serious accidents, like car accidents, bicycle and motorcycle accidents and pedestrian accidents, as well as from medical malpractice during surgery or from undiagnosed diabetes or diabetic or other health complications.
