amputated limbs
Surgically removed appendages
Amputated limbs are body parts—arms, legs, hands, feet—that have been surgically removed or severed through injury.
The phrase appears in medical contexts discussing prosthetics, trauma care, or battlefield injuries: Surgeons worked to save what they could, but two amputated limbs couldn't be reattached.
Phantom pain often persists where amputated limbs once were.
