Who may benefit
Limb Salvage Surgery may be considered when symptoms remain significant despite appropriate non-surgical care, or when injury, deformity, infection or loss of function requires operative treatment.
Pre-operative planning
A detailed examination and imaging review are used to define the surgical objective. Planning also considers circulation, diabetes, bone quality, previous procedures and rehabilitation needs.
The procedure
The exact technique is individualized. Modern surgery aims to correct the underlying problem, restore alignment and stability, preserve healthy tissue and support a predictable recovery.
Recovery
Recovery varies by procedure. It may include protected weight bearing, wound review, physiotherapy, gradual return to footwear and a structured return to work or sport.
Risks and alternatives
Every operation has risks. These are discussed alongside non-operative options, expected benefits and realistic recovery timelines during consultation.
