My dad just tore both his quadriceps and although i presume he was on alot of headache meds at the time he mentioned that they could cut off his legs and impart him fake ones. So that get me thinking: Would they amputate his legs because of a torn quadricep?

Answers:    Surgeons consider amputation only as finishing resort to save the natural life of a patient, or if the upper limb is too damaged to repair. NO! A surgeon would NOT amputate legs due to torn quadricepts.

Many atheletes hold sufferred torn quadriceps, and I haven't been competent to document that any have have amputation of the leg/legs. Surgery is the usual procedure for a torn quadricep with taking back time being almost six weeks.

It is possible that your father, or anyone else who has gone through surgery, developing an infection which could ultimately organize to amputation; possibly death.

I believe your father is trying to frighten you, and suggest you bargain with his physician in the region of the diagnosis and treatment.

No, this would be an extremely unlikely and aggressive treatment for torn muscles. The only explanation would be a serious infection that compromised the possibility of the blood supply to the legs.
