Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

655
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Surgery
  • Orthopedic Surgery

Background:

  • Limb amputation is a viable alternative to euthanasia in cases of catastrophic injury.
  • Surgical intervention may be necessary when limb restoration is not feasible or cost-prohibitive.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the key considerations for performing limb amputation.
  • To describe the surgical techniques involved in limb amputation.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on limb amputation.
  • Description of surgical approaches for proximal and distal amputations.

Main Results:

  • Proximal limb disarticulation is recommended when prosthetics are not planned.
  • Distal amputations are indicated for the use of exoskeletal prostheses.

Conclusions:

  • Limb amputation is a critical surgical option in veterinary medicine.
  • Surgical technique selection depends on the intended use of prosthetics.
