LIMB SALVAGE & AMPUTATIONS

Advanced Surgical Care to Preserve Limb Function and Quality of Life

When a serious foot or ankle condition threatens the health or viability of a limb, limb salvage procedures aim to preserve function, mobility, and independence whenever possible. At our clinic, we specialize in surgical interventions that prioritize saving the limb, while also providing expert care and support when amputation becomes the safest or most effective option.

What Is Limb Salvage?

Limb salvage refers to surgical strategies that prevent amputation by:

  • Removing infected or dead tissue

  • Restoring circulation to the foot or lower leg

  • Reconstructing bones, joints, or tendons

  • Stabilizing deformities caused by trauma, infection, or chronic disease

These procedures are often used in patients with diabetes, severe infections, non-healing wounds, or complex trauma, and are typically part of a multidisciplinary approach to care.

Conditions That May Require Limb Salvage or Amputation

  • Advanced diabetic foot ulcers

  • Chronic osteomyelitis (bone infection)

  • Severe peripheral artery disease (PAD)

  • Crush injuries or complex fractures

  • Non-healing surgical wounds

  • Tumors or cancer-related foot disease

  • Progressive gangrene or tissue death

We always evaluate every possible option to save the limb before considering amputation.

Our Approach to Care

Limb Salvage Surgery

  • Debridement of infected or necrotic tissue

  • Skin grafting or flap procedures to close wounds

  • Collaboration with vascular specialists to improve blood flow

  • Use of custom orthotics or braces for structural support post-surgery

Amputation (When Necessary)

When limb preservation is no longer safe or functional, we offer expert surgical amputation with:

  • A focus on minimizing limb loss and preserving as much mobility as possible

  • Pre-operative counseling and realistic recovery planning

  • Post-operative care, including wound management and prosthetic coordination

  • Emotional and psychological support to guide patients through a life-changing transition
