Podiatric and Plastic Surgery Approaches to Functional Limb Salvage

This session will highlight how plastic surgery principles and techniques enhance podiatric surgical care, with a focused review of flaps, tissue transfers, and reconstructive strategies essential for limb salvage. Expert presenters will discuss practical applications of local and regional flaps, perforator-based options, soft-tissue coverage planning, and intraoperative decision-making for complex lower-extremity wounds. The session will emphasize how podiatric surgeons can integrate these plastic surgery methods to achieve durable healing, restore function, and improve long-term limb outcomes. Attendees will gain actionable approaches for selecting and executing the most effective reconstructive techniques within their own clinical practice.
