Diabetic Limb Salvage

Diabetic limb salvage is a specialized medical effort to prevent amputation in people with diabetes who have serious foot or leg problems. High blood sugar can damage nerves and blood vessels, leading to infections, poor healing, and tissue death. The goal is to treat infections, improve blood flow, and manage wounds through procedures, medications, and sometimes advanced techniques, so that the affected limb can be preserved. This approach emphasizes early detection, comprehensive care, and collaboration among healthcare providers to maintain mobility and quality of life.
