What Is Diabetic Limb Preservation?

Diabetic limb salvage or preservation refers to the medical treatments and procedures our specialists use to preserve function and prevent full amputation of the extremities. It most often occurs in the legs and feet, and may involve surgical and nonsurgical practices to help retain bone or muscle and improve local circulation.

Of all nontraumatic amputations, diabetic limb loss makes up the vast majority of cases. The challenge with diabetes is that it can affect the feet and legs significantly due to the limited circulation and their distance from the heart. If you have a diagnosis or feel that you may be dealing with the effects of untreated diabetes, Premier Endovascular wants to help you maintain a healthy life in any way we can.

Our Diabetic Limb Salvage Services

Many diabetic-related amputations start as a wound or ulcer that does not heal and eventually becomes infected. Whether you are in the early stages, have a current infection or want to make a plan for the future, we welcome you to our state-of-the-art facility to take advantage of:

Preventive medicine: Annual screenings, medication and other forms of preventive medicine are the best defense against amputations. The earlier we can address your concerns, the more likely we can cure them before they lead to other complications, like infections. We may prescribe you new treatments such as medications, physical therapy or corrective procedures depending on your needs.
Wound care: If you already have an open sore or wound, our first course of action is to clean and dress it where possible. Our wound care solutions are focused on preventing or eliminating infections. From there, we can discuss a further plan of action that aids healing and keeps the infected tissue from spreading or moving into deeper structures.
Surgical solutions: Outside of amputation, other surgical options may help you keep your limb, even in the case of serious infections. We may be able to debride and remove necrotic tissue from small areas, preserving as much mobility as possible and avoiding full removal. These surgeries are less invasive than amputation and may help you get back on your feet sooner.
