The orthoplastic approach integrates multiple specialists for lower extremity wound reconstruction. This strategy focuses on prompt tissue repair and early rehabilitation to improve patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Wound Care

Background:

  • Lower extremity wounds require complex, multidisciplinary management.
  • Traditional approaches may not fully address bony and soft tissue defects concurrently.
  • Early rehabilitation is crucial for optimal functional recovery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the orthoplastic algorithm for lower extremity wound reconstruction.
  • To highlight technical innovations in the field.
  • To discuss ongoing research in orthoplastic surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Review of the general orthoplastic algorithm.
  • Discussion of assessment and management strategies for composite defects.
  • Highlighting technical advancements and research.
