'''Amputation''' is the removal of a limb or body part by [[Physical trauma|trauma]], medical illness, or surgery. As a surgical measure, it is used to control pain or a disease process in the affected limb, such as malignancy or gangrene. In some cases, it is carried out on individuals as a preventive surgery for such problems. A special case is that of congenital amputation, a congenital disorder, where fetal limbs have been cut off by constrictive bands.<ref name="WP">{{REFweb URLwikipedia|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amputation |title=Amputation |website=Wikipedia |accessdate=2021-11-12}}</ref>
