Medical care for amputation injuries is often complex. Not one amputation case is the same due to the variety of incidents that can lead to limb injury. However, surgeons will generally accomplish the following during an amputation surgery: Remove all dead tissue and destroyed bone in the affected limb, Smooth out the bone left behind, Seal blood vessels in the stump in order to prevent excessive bleeding, Shape the muscles in the stump so that they can fit comfortably in a prosthetic device, Stitch up the stump, and Wrap the stump in sterile bandages so that it can heal properly.
