Visual Procedure Explanations
Understanding key advanced surgeries and biological mechanisms that make limb salvage possible.
Diabetic Foot & Internal Offloading
Instead of relying only on external plaster casts or custom boots, Internal Offloading reshapes or elongates tendons (like Achilles tendon lengthening) or removes small bone spurs beneath the ulcer. This permanently eliminates the high pressure points that caused the ulcer in the first place, allowing it to heal from inside out.
Limb Salvage vs Amputation
Amputation removes the limb completely, leading to phantom pain, loss of independence, and high mortality rates in diabetics. Limb Salvage aggressively cleans infected bone, restores blood flow via vascular bypass, and transfers healthy soft tissue (free flaps) to reconstruct the foot so the patient can stand and walk again.
AV Fistula (Dialysis Access)
For hemodialysis, high-rate blood access is critical. An Arteriovenous (AV) Fistula is created by surgically connecting an artery directly to a vein, usually in the arm. This causes the vein to thicken and enlarge over several weeks, providing a strong, durable access site that can withstand repeated dialysis needles.
Hand Reconstruction & Restoring Movement
Severe hand trauma can sever nerves, arteries, and tendons, causing paralysis. We use micro-sutures (thinner than hair) to reconnect microscopic blood vessels and nerves. Replanting severed fingers or transferring tendons restores the essential gripping function, returning patients to active work.
