In the Indian Armed Forces & British Army, if a Soldier’s right arm is incapacitated (In a sling or plaster cast for example) he does not salute with his left, he would merely brace his body up and greet the officer verbally.
—
In US Army, Saluting with the left is permitted when the right is incapacitated due to battle injury.
Example: A person with his right arm in a sling would be permitted to salute with the left. If a person has had his right arm amputated he would probably no longer be on active duty.
Veterans are allowed to render a salute and if as cited above may use the left arm to render honors.
Saluting with a metal hand(hook)
Saluting with a prosthetic arm.
When is it correct to salute with your left hand? ONLY if you are in US Air Force ABU’s wearing a Trident and a SF tab at a Clinton or Sanders rally. — In most cases around the world – If a Soldier has lost an arm he would receive a medical discharge.
