“…7 The Global Limb Anatomic Staging System guidelines, which describe the necessary components for developing a limb salvage program, include concepts such as protocol-driven care, methods of objective outcome measurement, and collaboration between relevant surgical and medical subspecialities (eg, orthopedics, plastic surgery, physical medicine and rehabilitation, palliative care). 8 However, these considerations are also necessary for successful care of patients who undergo lower extremity amputation.…”

Learning Objectives: After studying this article, the participant should be able to: 1. Understand the goals of lower extremity reconstruction and identify clinical scenarios favoring amputation. 2. Understand lower extremity amputation physiology and biomechanics. 3. Review soft-tissue considerations to achieve durable coverage. 4. Appreciate the evolving management of transected nerves. 5. Highlight emerging applications of osseointegration and strategies to improve myoelectric prosthetic control. Summary: Plastic surgeons are well versed in lower extremity reconstruction for traumatic, oncologic, and ischemic causes. Limb amputation is an increasingly sophisticated component of the reconstructive algorithm and is indicated when the residual limb is predicted to be more functional than a salvaged limb. Although plastic surgeons have traditionally focused on limb salvage, they play an increasingly vital role in optimizing outcomes from amputation. This warrants a review of core concepts and an update on emerging reconstructive techniques in amputee care.
