Iceland has a higher number of amputees primarily due to its unique geographic and environmental factors, including harsh weather conditions and challenging terrain that can lead to accidents. Additionally, the country's small population means that even a few incidents, such as severe injuries or medical conditions leading to amputations, can result in a noticeable percentage of amputees. Access to healthcare and advanced medical care may also play a role in the management of severe injuries, influencing the number of amputations performed.
