Lower Limb Surgery
Plastic surgeons are highly skilled in managing soft tissues, which is essential in lower limb surgery.
The scope includes:
- Trauma surgery, addressing soft tissue trauma, nerve and tendon injuries, and collaborating with orthopedic teams for limb salvage.
- Lower extremity salvage and reconstruction, aiming to preserve limbs, restore function, and enhance quality of life. Achieving this requires expertise in neurovascular pathology, skeletal and soft tissue reconstruction, and physical rehabilitation.
- Diabetic foot surgery, managing acute necrotic conditions and implementing surgical offloading techniques to prevent diabetic foot ulcers.
- Peripheral vascular disease.
- Congenital anomalies of the lower limb.
