Estimates suggest that around 30,000 amputations were performed during the American Revolutionary War. This number reflects the significant injuries sustained by soldiers due to the use of muskets, cannon fire, and the lack of advanced medical techniques at the time. Many of these amputations were done as a last resort to save lives, given the prevalence of infections and the limited medical knowledge of the era.
