Horse accident leads for amputation
Head injuries are the most common reason for admission to hospital or death among riders. Sobering statistics reveal the high percentage of equine-related accidents resulting in traumatic brain injury, and helmets have been associated with reducing the risk of traumatic brain injury by as much as 50 percent. Yet, many riders still do not wear a helmet.
Physical disability
A physical disability is a substantial and long-term limitation affecting a person’s mobility, physical functioning, stamina or agility. It can limit the individual, either temporarily or permanently, by becoming disabled for a wide range of reasons, such as genetic disorder, injury or a specific condition.
Fibular Hemimelia
There is little information on fibular hemimelia because it is so rare. It can be scary for new parents who aren’t sure what is wrong with their child, especially when their doctors haven’t seen a case of Fibular Hemimelia. Fibular Hemimelia, currently called Longitudinal Fibular Deficiency, is characterized by a completely missing or partially missing fibula bone. Each person’s leg has two bones-the tibia and fibula- and people with fibular hemimelia are missing part or all of their fibula. Due to the absence of this bone, it often results in a bowed tibia, with the affected leg being shorter than the non-affected leg.
Rotationplasty or Van Nes rotation
Rotationplasty, commonly known as a Van Nes rotation or Borggreve rotation, is a type of autograft wherein a portion of a limb is removed, while the remaining limb below the involved portion is rotated and reattached.
Osteosarcoma
According to estimates, more than 76% of people who are diagnosed before the cancer has spread live at least 5 more years. The same is true of 65% of people whose tumors spread to nearby areas, and of more than 26% of those whose cancer has spread farther.
After treatment, you’ll need regular checkups with your doctor to watch for any long-term side effects and make sure the cancer doesn’t come back.
Paralympic athletes
A Paralympian is an athlete who competes in the Paralympic games. They’re athletes that have bodily differences and different types of disabilities.
Mastectomy
Mastectomy is breast cancer surgery that removes the entire breast. A mastectomy might be done: When a woman cannot be treated with breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy), which saves most of the breast. If a woman chooses mastectomy over breast-conserving surgery for personal reasons.
Toxic shock syndrome TSS
Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is a condition caused by bacterial toxins. Symptoms may include fever, rash, skin peeling, and low blood pressure. There may also be symptoms related to the specific underlying infection such as mastitis, osteomyelitis, necrotising fasciitis, or pneumonia. A few possible causes of toxic shock syndrome are: Cuts or open wounds on the skin, Surgical wounds, Viral infections (e.g. chickenpox), Contraceptive sponges, History of a recent birth, miscarriage, or abortion, Using super-absorbent tampons, Previously having TSS
Bomb casualty amputations
Acts of terrorism tend to erode the sense of security and safety that we normally enjoy. Terrorism challenges the stability we enjoy in a predictable, orderly, and controlled world. Feelings of anger, frustration, helplessness, fear, guilt, distress, and a desire to seek revenge are all common responses.
Proximal Femoral Focal Deficiency
Proximal focal femoral deficiency (PFFD) is part of a spectrum of congenital deformities affecting the femur, more comprehensively named congenital femoral.
Congenital amputation
A congenital amputation means a limb is not formed correctly or is missing at birth. This happens while the limb is being formed in the womb. It is often: • Not genetic, meaning passed from parent to child • Not because of anything you did or did not do before your baby was born Congenital amputations may include one or more of the following: • Different limb lengths • Poor joint function • Weak muscles • Fragile skin.
Amputation accidents
Losing a limb is one of the most traumatic physical injuries that a person can experience. In addition to being a devastating physical injury, amputation injuries can also have a significant impact on a person’s mental health. Depending on the nature of the injury and the body part that was amputated, an injured victim may require multiple surgeries and months of physical rehabilitation, including getting fitted for and learning how to use a prosthetic, and occupational therapy.
Amputation for bone cancer
Bone cancer can be one of several different cancers that develop in the bones. Cancers that begin in the bone are called primary bone cancers. Tumours that begin in organs or other parts of the body can also spread to the bones. Treatments include surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy.
