The Military Extremity Trauma Amputation/Limb Salvage (METALS) study: outcomes of amputation versus limb salvage following major lower-extremity trauma.
BACKGROUND The study was performed to examine the hypothesis that functional outcomes following major lower-extremity trauma sustained in the military would be similar between patients treated with amputation and those who underwent limb salvage. METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study of 324 service members deployed to Afghanistan or Iraq who sustained a lower-limb injury requiring eith...
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 کاملAbstract P12: Functional Outcomes Following Soft Tissue Reconstruction and Attempted Limb Salvage After Lower Extremity Trauma
PSRC Abstract Supplement P oter P rofs RESULTS: 358 breasts underwent reconstruction before protocol implementation and 135 afterwards. Patients were similar in terms of demographics and surgical characteristics. There was a significantly reduced incidence of clinically relevant infection after protocol implementation (10.1% to 2.9%, p= 0.009). Logistic regression analysis confirmed that the pr...
متن کاملAbstract: Soft Tissue Reconstruction and Salvage of Infected Fixation Hardware in Lower Extremity Trauma
BACKGROUND Tibial fracture management may be complicated by infection of internal fixation hardware (iIFH) resulting in increased morbidity and amputation rate. When iIFH removal is not possible, salvage of the lower extremity is attempted through debridement, antibiotics, and vascularized soft tissue coverage. This study investigates lower extremity salvage with retention of iIFH. METHODS De...
