CRUSH INJURY LEG: LIMB SALVAGE
Dr. Mohammed. Iftekar. Ali
Abstract :
The threat of lower limb loss is seen commonly in severe crush injury, cancer
ablation, diabetes, peripheral vascular disease and neuropathy. The primary goal
of limb salvage is to restore and maintain stability and ambulation. Reconstructive
strategies differ in each condition such as: Meticulous deidement and skeletal
stabilization early coverage in trauma, , improving vascularity in ischaemic leg. e a
borderline Mangled Extremity Severity Score in some cases reconstruction can be
attempted considering the overall health status of the patient and local clinical
status, with preserved plantar sensitivity and satisfactory capillary perfusion .In
conclusion, management of mangled extremity treatment should refer to evidence–
based literature in correlation with clinical evaluation of every individual patient.
Scores are helpful but should not be taken as a sole Indication for amputation.
Mangled extremity is a consequence of high Energy trauma which result in
combined bone and soft tissue injury associated with severe bone and soft tissue
loss or destruction (1).Treatment of a mangled lower extremity represents a major
challenge decision whether to amputate or attempt reconstruction is currently
based upon surgical evaluation (1)
