Abstract

This study aims to analyze the amputation rates in Southeast Brazil, the most populated region in the 6th country regarding the largest population in the world. In consequence, the national literature does not have solid results of total of amputation rates. Therefore, this study shows the incidence rates of amputations (per 100,000 inhabitants) in Southeast of Brazil. The state of Rio de Janeiro, presented the highest incidence of lower limb amputations and Espírito Santo, the highest incidence of upper limb amputations. The rehabilitation generated by the national technology needs to be more developed in Brazil. Focusing on reinsertion of amputees in society and generate a better quality of life to brazilian inhabitants.
