A New Method of Limb Salvage and Functional Upper Limb Reconstruction
Amputation is frequently used to treat malignant tumors invading into the shoulder joint. When the vessels and major nerves of the upper arm are preserved, however, the limb may be salvaged with a combined osseous, myocutaneous flap. We reconstructed large defects, which included the shoulder joint, using a vascularized rib-latissmus dorsi combined flap. Ribs were connected via the ninth or ten...
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...
متن کاملShort Term Complications and Functional Results of Sarcoma Limb Salvage Surgeries
Background: Limb salvaging surgeries are current surgical treatment of extremity bone sarcomas. Resected bonereplacement consists of two main methods; tumor prosthesis versus structural allograft. Biological reconstruction withan allograft is an economic cheap method in young sarcoma patients, however, the surgeons are more convinced withtumor prosthesis replacement.Methods: We evaluated the sh...
متن کاملComposite sequential arterial reconstruction for limb salvage.
OBJECTIVE Autogenous vein is the conduit of choice in patients presenting for infrainguinal arterial reconstruction. Venous conduit may be limited because of inadequacy or prior utilization. Our group and others use prosthetics to maximize limb salvage with moderate results. However, in cases where patients present with an isolated popliteal segment that may extend below the knee, we have perfo...
