Approximately one million amputations are reported around the world 
each year. As at 2017, 57.7m people globally have been living with 
traumatic amputation1. One US lawyer´s website suggests that "at 
least" 30,000 traumatic amputations occur in the USA every year2.   

Amputations can be necessary due to illness/disease as well as 
trauma. A study of the incidence of lower limb amputation in patients 
aged between 50 and 84 in England found that, between April 2003 and 
March 2009, there were 25,3123.   

The number of patients with either amputation or limb deficiency 
attending specialist rehab centres in the UK is estimated to be 
between 55,000 and 60,000, costing about £60m a year.
