The mangled extremity continues to be a vexing problem. Difficult bony reconstruction, patient factors and soft tissue coverage all present unique challenges. This session will not only review some current management principles but introduce the concept of the combined orthoplastic service which provides arguably streamlined multidisciplinary care in a collegial fashion. This session will define the need, benefits as well as outline specific paths for developing such a service. Institutional challenges will also be explored.

Learning Objectives:

At the completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
  • The participant will understand the unique set of challenges the patient with the mangled extremity presents, in particular the patient, the injury and the coverage concerns.
  • the participant will learn basic coverage options available to the orthopaedic surgeon without the need of plastic surgery
  • the participant will be introduced to the concept of a combined orthoplastics service, benefits of such service and a blueprint to create and orthoplastics service
