Amputation rate for US troops twice that of past wars Doctors cite need for prosthetics as more lives saved By Raja Mishra, Globe Staff \| December 9, 2004 US troops injured in Iraq have required limb amputations at twice the rate of past wars, and as many as 20 percent have suffered head and neck injuries that may require a lifetime of care, according to new data giving the clearest picture yet of the severity of battlefield wounds. The reason behind this is good news as the next statement in that article shows. "The data are the grisly flip side of improvements in battlefield medicine that have saved many combatants who would have died in the past: Only 1 in 10 US troops injured in Iraq has died, the lowest rate of any war in US history." In the past many of these injured soldiers would have died.
