In a recent statement, Colonel Kostiantyn Humeniuk, the Chief Surgeon of Ukraine’s Armed Forces, revealed that over 70% of amputations performed on servicemembers are the result of limb detachment. The remaining 30% are attributed to post-tourniquet syndrome, a condition that occurs when blood flow is restricted for an extended period following a tourniquet application. The surgeon’s comments underscore the grim reality of battlefield injuries and the difficulties in limb preservation amidst ongoing combat.
