Abstract: Coverage of Exposed Lower Extremity Bypass Vascular Graft with Integra and NPWT for Limb Salvage
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We report on our treatment of 6 limbs in 3 patients (age range, 19–36 years). In each case we applied fat graft at the medial side of the limb 150–175 cc. There were minimal deformity (Langenskiöld stage 1), patients had only aesthetic complaint, not pain or osteoartrit.The varus angulation at the tibia was measured and osteoarthritis was evaluated with radiographs.Patien...
متن کاملDeployment after limb salvage for high-energy lower-extremity trauma.
BACKGROUND Many wounded warriors experienced high-energy lower-extremity trauma (HELET) that may be limb threatening. Volumetric muscle loss, posttraumatic osteoarthritis, nerve injuries, and pain may severely limit physical function. Several wounded warriors express a strong desire to return to their units and be deployed in their original military occupational specialty. We began the return-t...
متن کاملImproving the level of amputation of the lower extremity after therapeutic endovascular intervention for patients with critical limb ischemia
Methods: We conducted a comparative study of two groups of patients suffering from arterial insufficiency of the lower extremities, and the decision taken to amputate above the knee for both of them. A group of patients selected for a therapeutic peripheral intervention, and the effect of this intervention in improving the level of amputation studied and calculated statistically. The study cond...
متن کاملLATE ARTERIAL REPAIR FOR LOWER LIMB OR KNEE SALVAGE
The objective of this report is to prove that even after development of ischemic necrosis of the muscles and nerves, we can still save the extremity or the knee and even several days after arterial injury, perform arterial repair and other mentioned procedures. Thus we can retain a functionally satisfactory leg or knee joint, which is far better than classic above-knee amputation and utili...
متن کاملLATE EMBOLECTOMY FOR LIMB OR KNEE SALVAGE IN ACUTE LOWER LIMB ISCHEMIA: A NEW PROTOCOL
Embolectomy has long been the gold standard for treating limbs acutely threatened by arterial occlusion. Delayed embolectomy has not been investigated adequately due to the belief that accompanying mortality and morbidity render the case futile. Following our previous experience with late arterial repair for leg or knee salvage I we applied the same principle to limbs threatened with prolo...
