Orthoplastic Surgery

Serves the needs of those surgeons from around the world whose primary focus is on limb salvage and reconstruction.

Content appeals to general surgeons, trauma surgeons, orthopaedic surgeons, plastic surgeons, neurosurgeons, and specialists in these disciplines (for example joint replacement surgeons will be interested in soft tissue salvage techniques for compromised knee arthroplasties).

Trauma, tumor, infection, and treatment of the dysvascular and diabetic foot cover a wide range of clinical conditions. Advances in the new field of Vascularized Composite Allotransplantation, particularly of the upper extremity, are highlighted.

Advances in reconstructive microsurgery as they relate to extremity care (supermicrosurgery, robotic microsurgery, and lymphatic microsurgery) are also featured.

The technology advances such as osseointegration, prosthetics and targeted muscle reinnervation are included to round out the spectrum of the Orthoplastic field.

Readership includes physicians and therapists involved with care of the upper and lower extremity affected by trauma, tumor, sepsis, and congenital differences.
