For patients who are experiencing pain, deformity or functional limitations caused by initial trauma surgery or previous reconstruction, Penn Orthoplastic surgeons are equipped to provide care unavailable elsewhere in the region.
Our team of experts works tirelessly to see that you receive a thorough evaluation and treatment plan to address these issues with the goal of getting you to where you want to be--and can be.
One of only a few in the country, our limb restoration program offers experts in the fields of orthopaedics, vascular surgery, plastic surgery, rehabilitation, diabetes management, infectious disease, prosthetics, orthotics and others to review your unique case and develop a proper limb revision surgery plan.
Patients who qualify for limb restoration include those dealing with:
- Suboptimal function of the limb--limited range of motion, problems with weight bearing, and loss of strength
- Painful limb caused by nerve damage
- Severe post-traumatic scarring and contour deformity
For patients with malunions or nonunions, Penn will develop a dedicated care and reconstruction plan that addresses the cause and fixes the fracture.
