Prevalence of Peripheral Arterial Disease in Diabetic Foot Ulcer Patients and its Impact in Limb Salvage

International Journal of Lower Extremity Wounds, 2021
Diabetic foot ulcer syndrome is a common complication of diabetes mellitus. Three main factors contribute to it: neuropathy, vasculopathy, and infection. This study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in diabetic

Limb Salvage Rates and Functional Outcomes using a Longitudinal Slit Arteriotomy End to Side Anastomosis for Limb Threatening Defects in a High-risk Patient Population.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2020
BACKGROUND Limb salvage techniques using free tissue transfer (FTT) in patients with chronic wounds due to long standing osteomyelitis, diabetes, and peripheral vascular disease(PVD) are technically challenging.

Limb‐salvage surgery with vascular reconstruction after lower extremity sarcoma resection: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Microsurgery, 2020
Limb‐salvage surgery with vascular reconstruction is the current standard treatment when sarcoma involves major vessels of the lower extremity. However, the low incidence of sarcoma and rarity of limb‐salvage surgery are limiting factors for the reliable

Limb Salvage in the Elderly

Annals of Vascular Surgery, 1989
Sixty-eight lower extremity bypass procedures for severe lower limb ischemia were undertaken on 53 patients of 75 years of age and over. The operative mortality was 4.4%. At two years cumulative limb salvage, patient survival, graft patency and survival with an intact limb were 77%, 72%, 44%, and 56%, respectively.

A propensity‐score matched analysis of limb salvage vs amputation for osteosarcoma

Journal of Surgical Oncology, 2019
With recent advances in chemotherapy and surgical techniques, the trend in the treatment of osteosarcoma continues to progress towards limb salvage. However, studies comparing limb salvage with amputation continue to be limited by selection bias and ...

A Comparison of Limb Salvage Versus Amputation for Nonmetastatic Sarcomas Using Patient-reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Outcomes

Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2019
Introduction: The Patient-reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) is a scoring tool that allows comparisons between patients with rare conditions and more common ailments, or the general US population.

Limb salvage for osteosarcoma.

The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1988
Five issues need to be addressed when considering limb salvage instead of amputation for osteosarcoma of the extremities. Is there any decrease in survival with limb salvage when compared to amputation? What are the differences in the immediate morbidity between the two surgical procedures?

Pedal reconstructions for limb salvage

European Journal of Vascular Surgery, 1991
If only one pedal artery is patent the vascular surgeon has to decide between primary amputation and a bypass. Between 1980 and 1990, 460 femoro-distal bypasses were performed in our clinic and 8% (39 cases) of these received a pedal reconstruction. At discharge from the hospital 85% of these grafts were patent.
