Looks like someone is reading a patient chart and posted it. There could be underlying hypercoaguability disorders such as Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome.
Gangrene means the tissue is dead. There is no blood flow to it and inorder to stop the progession of it up a limb, it must be removed. I am sorry this child has to go through this but I am very sure there is an underlying condition. It is typical to give a person a prostetic following amputation. Gangrene rarely occurs in children. Pediatric cases have been reported from countries where poor hygiene is prevalent.
You can get gangrene from many things. With children meningitis is often the cause - limbs are damaged by the infection which causes the flesh to die. Medical negligence is unlikely to be the cause in such cases.
