Listen to this entry. Many wounded soldiers during the Civil War (1861â1865), including those from North Carolina, had an operation called an amputation. In an amputation, a person has an arm or leg (or sometimes just a hand or foot) removed from their body because of a terrible injury or infection.Military advances before and during the Civil War meant more powerful, destructive weapons, and more devastating injuries, including shattered bones.ut a prosthetic (another word used for an artificial limb) helps an amputee be less noticeable in public and offers the chance of a more regular daily life. Artificial limbs, especially legs, helped Civil War amputees get back to work to support themselves and their families.
