limb salvage

Limb salvage is a medical approach aimed at preserving a damaged or diseased limb, rather than amputating it. This process often involves advanced techniques, such as surgery, rehabilitation, and the use of specialized devices, to repair or restore function. It is frequently used for patients with severe injuries, infections, or tumors in the limb. The goal is to enhance the patient’s quality of life by enabling them to keep their limb and regain as much mobility and function as possible, thereby minimizing the physical and emotional impacts of losing a limb.
