Causes of Amputation Injuries in Michigan
|
In Michigan, traumatic amputations often occur as the result of automobile or motorcycle accidents. They can also result from workplace accidents. Individuals who work in construction or with machinery can be at higher risk of serious workplace injury. Accidents with saws or other cutting instruments or from crush injuries involving heavy machinery may require amputation surgery.
All too often, traumatic accidents happen to competent individuals. In fact, a University of Michigan study showed that new construction workers have an approximately 50% chance of suffering a traumatic injury during their first month on the job. |
