Lower Extremity Amputation Prevention Discussion - Top Docs Radio

00:00 /

TOPIC:

Lower Extremity Amputation Prevention

In the US alone there are over 20,000 lower extremity amputations per month. As many as 68% of them have not had a basic vascular study to determine if revascularization could help save the leg. This week I’ll talk with Dr. Mohammad Sharif of Village Podiatry Centers, Dr. Doug Redd of Advanced Vascular Resources, and Dr. David Schwegman of Hyperbaric Physicians of Georgia. They’ll be discussing the multi-specialty team approach that is necessary for the best outcomes in patients with limb-threatening wounds. They will talk about important things patients need to know about. This includes things such as how important it is to have a vascular study to see if peripheral vascular disease (PAD) is present. It is important to know that simply checking pulses is not effective enough when lower extremity amputation is a potential outcome. Patients with risk factors for lower extremity amputation need to be followed by a foot & ankle specialist such as a DPM for care along with a certified wound specialist (not just a doctor or nurse who does wound care).
