Description

In this BoardsCast episode, we tackle one of the most challenging conversations in surgery: when to take the limb — and when to fight to save it. Whether you’re dealing with cancer, trauma, or chronic orthopedic failure, limb salvage vs. amputation is about far more than the cut.

You’ll learn:

• The indications and contraindications for limb salvage
• Key factors influencing functional outcome after amputation
• Surgical options for partial limb salvage: endoprostheses, allografts, CVOs
• How to evaluate patient selection, comorbidities, and owner capacity
• Decision-making in osteosarcoma, non-reconstructable fractures, and infection
• Post-op expectations and long-term function — myth vs. reality

From oncologic planning to traumatic triage, this episode helps you guide both your plan — and your clients — with clarity and compassion.
