Lower Limb Reconstruction

Lower Limb Reconstruction

Restoring Mobility, Function, and Quality of Life

Severe lower limb injuries, such as open fractures and degloving injuries, can severely impact mobility, independence, and overall quality of life. At Bembde Hospital in Chh. Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad), we specialize in advanced reconstructive techniques to restore function, reduce pain, and improve aesthetics. Our multidisciplinary team combines orthopedic, plastic, and microvascular expertise to provide comprehensive and compassionate care.

Understanding Lower Limb Injuries

Lower limb injuries vary from minor fractures to severe trauma that affects function and appearance. Whether caused by road traffic accidents, workplace injuries, or falls, these cases require immediate intervention to prevent complications.

Open fractures

Open fractures involve bone exposure through the skin, increasing the risk of infection, delayed healing, and soft tissue damage.

Causes of open fractures

Causes of open fractures include road traffic accidents, industrial mishaps, and falls from heights, where high-impact forces lead to bone exposure and tissue damage.

Degloving injuries

Degloving injuries occur when skin and soft tissue separate from underlying structures, causing extensive tissue loss, impaired blood flow, and increased infection risks.

Causes of degloving injuries

Causes of degloving injuries include high-impact trauma from vehicle accidents, industrial mishaps involving machinery, and sports or recreational accidents that exert forceful traction on the skin.

Advanced Reconstruction Techniques at Bembde Hospital

Our state-of-the-art surgical techniques restore function and aesthetics. Stabilizing open fractures involves external fixation (pins and rods for temporary stability) or internal fixation (plates, screws, or rods for permanent stabilization). Repairing degloving injuries includes skin grafting with autografts, allografts, or synthetic substitutes.

For flap reconstruction surgery, local flaps reposition nearby tissue, free flaps transfer tissue from another site, and perforator flaps preserve muscle while covering defects. Bone reconstruction and limb lengthening use grafting and Ilizarov techniques to correct defects and restore symmetry.

Vascular and nerve repair ensures limb viability and sensation. Microsurgical vascular repair reconnects arteries and veins, nerve grafting restores sensation, and nerve transfers compensate for lost function. 

Comprehensive Care Beyond Surgery

Immediate intervention significantly impacts recovery. Our emergency care includes wound debridement to prevent infection, antibiotics for infection control, and fracture stabilization with temporary or permanent fixation.

Post-surgery, rehabilitation is essential. Physical therapy restores strength and motion, occupational therapy improves fine motor skills, and custom splinting and bracing support healing while maintaining movement.

Is Lower Limb Reconstruction Right for You?

Lower limb reconstruction is a specialized surgical procedure aimed at restoring function and appearance after trauma, tumors, infections, or congenital defects.

Lower Limb Reconstruction FAQs

Initial healing takes 6-12 weeks, while complete rehabilitation may take several months.
Most patients can walk with support after the healing phase. Your doctor will guide you on resuming weight-bearing activities.
Infection, delayed bone healing, and nerve damage are possible but minimized with advanced surgical techniques and strict infection control.
With dedicated physiotherapy, most patients regain significant mobility. Complete recovery depends on injury severity and overall health.
We use minimally invasive techniques and recommend post-surgical scar management therapies for better aesthetic outcomes.
