Advances in Trunk and Limb Reconstruction

Significant advancements have been made in recent years in the treatment of upper and lower limb trauma, degenerative disorders, and tumors in these areas. Leading these innovations are plastic surgeons, whose primary goal is to restore both function and appearance.

What Is Trunk and Limb Reconstruction?

The most common procedures in reconstructive surgery for the upper and lower limbs are those aimed at repairing trauma involving exposed bone. Modern techniques have greatly enhanced surgeons' ability to restore function and appearance, even in severe cases. Techniques employed include:

• Grafting: Transferring skin, bone, nerves, or other tissues from a healthy area of the body to repair the damaged region.
• Flap Surgery: Moving skin along with subcutaneous tissue, blood vessels, and muscle or bone from one part of the body to the trauma site.

Conditions Treated with Reconstructive Procedures

• Pressure Ulcers
• Varicose Leg Ulcers
• Arm Reconstruction
• Leg Reconstruction
• Trunk Reconstruction

In many cases, surgery can significantly restore sensation and functionality to the damaged area. However, recovery may take several months, often requiring a period of physical therapy and rehabilitation.
