Limb salvage refers to the medical technique of preserving a limb that is at risk of amputation due to trauma, infection, or other health conditions. This research area focuses on developing and improving treatments, technologies, and surgical techniques to save limbs and improve the quality of life for patients. Limb salvage also involves rehabilitation and post-operative care to ensure that the preserved limb functions effectively. Researchers in this area work to advance the field of orthopedics, vascular surgery, plastic surgery, and other related disciplines to save limbs and prevent disability.
