Pirates often had injured legs or arms due to the dangers of life at sea, including battles with rival ships, encounters with naval forces, and accidents during boarding actions. The chaotic nature of these confrontations frequently resulted in gunshot wounds, sword injuries, or accidents involving heavy rigging and ship equipment. Additionally, poor medical care and the harsh living conditions contributed to the prevalence of amputations among pirates, leading to the iconic image of pirates with peg legs or hooks for hands.
Peg feet, also known as peg legs, are prosthetic devices used to replace a leg or foot that has been amputated. They typically consist of a rigid structure that can be made from materials like wood, metal, or plastic, allowing individuals to walk or engage in activities with improved stability and mobility. Peg feet can vary in design, with some being designed for everyday use and others tailored for specific activities or sports. The term is often associated with historical depictions of pirates or individuals in literature and film.

If they lost the lower half of the leg, they could be fitted with a wooden stump. That was all they had.
