As for adverb position, there is nothing wrong with "so badly injured". As a matter of fact it sounds more natural than "injured so badly", which is not wrong.
- e.g. "His essay was so badly written/written so badly that I had to ask him to rewrite it."
I wouldn't use "must" in the past tense, and would add a possessive adjective at the beginning of the sentence.
- "His arm is so badly injured that he must have it amputated."
- "His arm was so badly injured that it had to be amputated."
As Andrew Leach has mentioned in a comment, if the victim is in hospital, and hasn't been operated on yet, it is perfectly grammatical to say "His arm was..... and it must be amputated."
