How Limb Reconstruction Works
Depending on the condition, limb reconstruction may involve a combination of microsurgical techniques, local or free tissue transfer, bone grafting, nerve repair, or scar revision. The goal is to salvage and rebuild injured or damaged limbs with long-term outcomes in mind.
Key techniques include:
Free flap reconstruction: Transferring tissue (skin, muscle, fat) from another part of the body using microsurgery to cover complex wounds or exposed structures.
Tendon and nerve repair: Re-establishing motor function and sensation after trauma or tumour removal.
Bone and joint stabilisation: Collaborating with orthopaedic teams to manage structural deformities or defects.
Staged surgeries are sometimes required, and a multidisciplinary approach is often essential for optimal outcomes.
Conditions Commonly Treated
Limb trauma with soft tissue and/or bone loss
Post-cancer limb reconstruction (e.g. sarcoma resection)
Chronic wounds or infection requiring coverage
Congenital abnormalities affecting limb development
Complex limb fractures with exposed bone, tendon, or implants
Failed reconstructions or complications from prior surgery
