Forequarter amputation is a surgical procedure in which the entire arm, shoulder blade, and collarbone are removed. It is a drastic procedure that is usually done to treat cancer or other severe diseases affecting the arm or shoulder. This procedure involves removing the entire limb and part of the scapula (shoulder blade) and clavicle (collar bone) and may also remove the surrounding muscles and tissues as necessary. After the surgery, the patient might need physical therapy to learn how to use their remaining limb and adjust to their new body structure. Forequarter amputations are rare and are usually used as a last option when conservative treatments have failed to address the medical condition.
