Limb Lengthening and Limb Salvage
Limb lengthening and limb salvage are specialized areas within orthopedics that focus on restoring mobility and function to individuals with limb deformities, discrepancies, or injuries. Limb lengthening and limb salvage procedures involve a collaborative effort among healthcare professionals. Orthopedic surgeons work closely with other specialists, such as oncologists, vascular specialists, infectious disease specialists, plastic surgeons, and rehabilitation experts, to develop a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
Limb lengthening and limb salvage procedures empower patients and their families by offering alternatives to amputation and providing opportunities for improved function and mobility. Through education, counseling, and ongoing support, our multi-disciplinary team strives to ensure you and your family are actively involved in the decision-making process and well-informed about the treatment options and expectations.
