Imaging of Limb Salvage Surgery

American Journal of Roentgenology, 2012
Limb salvage surgery comprises surgical techniques designed to resect musculoskeletal extremity tumors and subsequently reconstruct a limb with an acceptable oncologic, functional, and cosmetic result. Today, 70-90% of malignant extremity tumors are being treated with limb salvage surgery.The purpose of this article is to describe the operative ...

Infrapopliteal angioplasty for limb salvage

European Journal of Vascular Surgery, 1993
Fourteen infrapopliteal angioplasties were performed in 13 patients with critical limb ischaemia. Clinical indications were rest pain, ulceration, gangrene or a critically ischaemic limb from a graft occlusion secondary to an infrapopliteal lesion. The average ankle-brachial ratio was 0.22 in non-diabetics. Technical success was achieved in all lesions

Popliteal-to-Distal Bypass for Limb Salvage

Annals of Vascular Surgery, 2004
A retrospective study was carried out to examine the patency and limb salvage rates of popliteal-to-distal bypass and compare the results of diabetic to those of nondiabetic patients and elective versus emergency procedures. From January 1990 to December 2001, 71 popliteal-to-distal bypasses were performed.

Limb salvage in the upper limb: a review

Current Orthopaedic Practice, 2017
Limb salvage has replaced amputation as the mainstay of treatment for upper limb primary sarcomas, metastases, complex limb reconstruction in arthroplasty, and as salvage after trauma. There is currently no consensus as to the optimal reconstructive technique. Regardless of the technique used, however, there may be functional impairment.

Limb Salvage for Osteosarcoma in the 1980s

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1991
The incidence of local recurrences following limb salvage performed by experienced surgeons with wide surgical margins and with the use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy is sufficiently low (5%-10%) so as not to have a biologically statistically significant impact on the long-term survival rate.

Special problems in limb-salvage surgery

Seminars in Surgical Oncology, 1997
Limb-salvage surgery is a safe and effective treatment for malignancies of the musculoskeletal system. Careful evaluation and planning are necessary to avoid both early and late complications. Biopsy must be carefully performed to avoid unnecessary contamination and to obtain adequate tissue for an accurate diagnosis.
