Mohali 04th July:-A seminar on Lower limb salvage surgery was today conducted at Ivy Hospital. Dr. Kanwaldeep Medical Director of Ivy was the chief guest at this moment.
While speaking at the moment Dr. Vinod Kumar (director orthopedic deptt.) said that this is a treatment of massive bone defects caused by bone resection of tumors and has changed over the years. If the oncological treatment is not impaired, limb salvage surgery is performed to avoid amputation whenever possible. Reconstruction with modular mega prosthesis plays the main role in the treatment of bone defects today.
