Limb Trauma Educational Series (LTES): Maximizing Function after Remote Extremity Trauma
Dr. Jason Souza will review a case whereby all the critical components of orthoplastic limb salvage were applied not to salvage, but to an elective amputation, what he calls an orthoplastic amputation. The intent of the case is to demonstrate that when orthoplastic principles and increased level of technical sophistication are applied to amputation, amputation can be considered more than just a salvage procedure, and in fact it is possible to achieve pain and functional outcomes that weren’t attainable through continued efforts at limb salvage
