The Economics of Limb Salvage in Diabetes
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2011Limb salvage requires early prevention therapy, knowledgeable use of wound care technology, and active management of peripheral vascular disease. This field has changed considerably over the past decade, with new advanced wound healing products and minimally invasive surgery for peripheral vascular disease.

Limb salvage in sarcomas in children
World Journal of Surgery, 1988AbstractLimb‐saving surgery plays an increasingly important role in the treatment of malignant tumors of the extremities. This type of surgery may pose special problems in children when one or two epiphyses have to be sacrificed. An unacceptable leg‐length discrepancy may occur, especially in the very young child, at the end of growth after ...

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2010
The primary goal of limb salvage is to restore or maintain function. To achieve this goal, proper patient selection, timely reconstruction, and choosing the procedure best suited for the patient are paramount. The decision to salvage a limb should be individualized for each patient, taking into consideration not only the extremity wound but also the ...

Limb salvage in the upper limb: a review
Current Orthopaedic Practice, 2017Limb 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.

Special problems in limb-salvage surgery
Seminars in Surgical Oncology, 1997Limb-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.

2008
Primary bone tumors in children are rare conditions, the upper limb being more rarely affected than the lower limb. The practicing general orthopedic surgeon may not see more than a single case of primary bone tumor per year. This rarity makes the recognition— particularly of malignant bone tumors—extremely difficult.

Limb Amputation Versus Limb Salvage
2017Several studies have compared outcomes after limb salvage and amputation in an attempt to define objective criteria to guide the decision of whether and when to amputate or reconstruct a severely injured leg. Most of this research is based on experience at civilian level I trauma centers.

Limb Salvage for Osteosarcoma in the 1980s
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1991The 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.
