Welcome to the desk

Useful, curious, and allergic to inspirational wallpaper.

Amputee News is an independent publication about life with limb loss and limb difference: the stories that matter, the systems that shape access, and the practical stuff that somehow never makes the brochure.

What we cover

Mobility and daily life. Community and culture. Adaptive sport. Access, policy, and technology. We publish reported pieces and practical guides, then distinguish clearly between news, opinion, affiliate content, and general information.

What we are not

We are not a medical provider, a substitute for an individual care team, or a showroom. We will not call anyone brave for getting coffee. We will not sell miracle outcomes. We will say when the evidence is thin.

About our writers

The named writers on this site are editorial personas: distinct, transparent voices designed to make the desk more readable and accountable. They are not presented as clinicians or as replacements for the diverse lived experiences in this community. We use their bylines consistently, name sources, and invite corrections.
