Limb Salvage Surgery in Thane

Expert Diagnosis, Personalized Treatment, and Ongoing Care: Your Path to Preserving Limb Function

Limb salvage surgery is a surgical procedure that aims to preserve a limb that is affected by cancer, trauma, infection, or other ailments. It is an alternative to amputation, which is the traditional procedure of removing the entire limb.

Limb salvage surgery is performed by a team of specialists, including orthopedic surgeons, oncologists, and reconstructive surgeons. The team works together to develop a personalized treatment plan for each patient, based on the type and stage of the disease, the patient's overall health, and their functional goals.

A variety of limb salvage surgery techniques can be used, depending on the specific needs of the patient. Some common techniques include:

  • Wide excision: This involves removing the tumor and a margin of healthy tissue around it.
  • Rotationplasty: This involves rotating the foot and ankle 180 degrees and attaching them to the lower leg. While the foot and ankle play a crucial role in creating a functional limb after rotationplasty, a prosthesis is often still needed to replace the lower part of the leg. The combination of the rotated ankle joint and a prosthetic limb allows individuals to achieve a relatively normal walking pattern and engage in various activities.
  • Vascularized bone graft: This involves transplanting a bone from another part of the body, along with its blood vessels. This helps to ensure that the bone graft receives enough blood to survive.
  • Prosthetic reconstruction: This involves replacing the missing bone or tissue with a prosthetic device.

Limb salvage surgery can be a complex and challenging procedure, but it can offer patients a number of benefits, including:

  • Improved quality of life: Preserving a limb can help patients to maintain their independence and mobility.
  • Better functional outcomes: Limb salvage surgery can often result in better functional outcomes than amputation, and restore a patient’s ability, to an extent, to walk, run, and play sports.
  • Reduced risk of complications: Limb salvage surgery can help to reduce the risk of complications associated with amputation, such as phantom pain and stump infections.

Limb salvage surgery is a complex and challenging procedure, but it can offer patients a number of benefits, including improved quality of life, better functional outcomes, and reduced risk of complications.
