Like I stated, anything at this point is just speculation. We have almost no information about Eto's abilities, so we really cannot know anything at this point.

We don't know what kind of "fatal injury" she received in the past, other than it being damage to her kakuhou. That is the critical thing when it comes to killing a Ghoul, so naturally it would be a huge deal. In this case, Kaneki basically sliced off her legs from the hip level. This is actually a type of injury real human beings have survived in the real world, though it is very rare.
