Matt Mee, a Specialist Registrar in Podiatric Surgery, will examine the case for ‘positive’ amputation during what is set to be an engaging debate at the EDFN National Conference, ‘Amputation or limb preservation?’
He will argue that early TMA can prevent the destructive ‘salvage cycle’, highlighting how repeated minor salvage often worsens deformity, prolongs infection and delays healing. Matt will explore how appropriately selected TMA can improve healing time, reduce complications, protected function and quality of life.
Delegates will hear:
- A review of guidelines
- An evidence overview
- Tips and technical considerations
