Construction sites often remain hazardous until the project in question is completed, which is why only workers are allowed on site. Unfortunately, this does not mean that workers are immune to suffering construction site accidents.
There are a number of things that can go wrong on a construction site, and many different injuries may result from those accidents. Among the most gruesome are injuries that result in amputations. An amputation is the permanent removal of an extremity.
Injuries that result in amputation may occur in two different ways. The most common injuries that result in amputations are those that render an extremity unusable and a threat to a person's life. That is, if keeping the injured limb could potentially be dangerous to an individual's life or if it is injured beyond any sort of healing, it should usually be amputated.
Less common are injuries that actually sever extremities. While some of these injuries may allow the severed extremity to be reattached, many do not, and the person will be without that extremity for the rest of his or her life.
Any extremity may be injured and require amputation. That is, any body part that is not the torso or head may be subject to amputation in the event of an injury. This includes fingers, toes, hands, feet, arms, and legs.
Learning to live without an extremity may be a difficult process. Some individuals, especially those who lose limbs, may use prosthetics to help with everyday activities. Prosthetics help many individuals lead normal lives after tragic accidents.
