Limb Preservation Surgery
Prevent Amputation. Restore Function. Reclaim Quality of Life.
If you’re facing the possibility of amputation due to a severe wound or chronic condition, there is hope. At Wound Care Specialists of Central PA, we specialize in advanced limb preservation surgery designed to save your foot or leg, promote healing, and help you live your life on your terms.
What Is Limb Preservation Surgery?
Limb preservation (or limb salvage) surgery is a multidisciplinary approach aimed at avoiding amputation when a lower extremity is at risk due to infection, vascular disease, diabetes-related complications, or non-healing wounds. This treatment combines advanced surgical techniques, wound management, and vascular care to restore blood flow, fight infection, and promote tissue healing.
Who Can Benefit?
You may be a candidate for limb preservation if you suffer from:
- Diabetic foot ulcers
- Severe infections (e.g., osteomyelitis)
- Peripheral arterial disease (PAD)
- Venous insufficiency-related wounds
- Traumatic injuries
- Chronic non-healing wounds
Our Approach to Limb Preservation
At our Mechanicsburg facility, we take a comprehensive and proactive approach to preserving your limb and preventing complications:
- Advanced Imaging & Diagnostics: We begin with non-invasive testing such as ABI vascular testing and 20/20 digital X-rays to assess blood flow, bone health, and infection severity.
- Aggressive Infection Control: Infections are treated with a combination of debridement techniques, targeted antibiotics, and, when needed, surgical removal of infected tissue while preserving viable structures.
- Reconstructive & Vascular Surgery: When necessary, we coordinate with vascular specialists to restore circulation and perform reconstructive skin grafting or localized surgery to close wounds and rebuild damaged tissue.
- Advanced Therapies: We use innovative tools such as Misonix painless ultrasonic debridement and MolecuLight imaging to guide treatment and accelerate healing.
