Limb Salvage

Limb Salvage is a surgical intervention strategy within veterinary and human reconstructive medicine that belongs to the broader category of limb preservation techniques, distinguished by its deliberate application of orthopedic and vascular surgical principles to restore and maintain functional limb integrity in the presence of severe trauma, neoplastic disease, infection, or vascular insufficiency, thereby preventing amputation.
