Limb Salvage Surgery in Mohali
Limb salvage surgery—often called limb-sparing surgery—is a sophisticated procedure that removes a cancerous tumour while preserving healthy tissue, tendons, nerves, and blood vessels. In Mohali, this treatment addresses bone and soft tissue cancers through advanced reconstruction using prosthetic implants or bone grafts.
Dr. Ravul Jindal, with 30 plus years of experience as Director of Vascular Surgery at Fortis Hospital Mohali, utilizes advanced imaging and surgical techniques to restore mobility, independence, and confidence while keeping the limb structurally intact.

What is Limb Salvage Surgery ?
Limb salvage surgery removes cancerous bone - osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, or soft tissue sarcoma - while preserving muscles, nerves, and healthy tissue, replacing it with metal implants or bone grafts.
A wrongly performed biopsy at a non-specialised centre can make limb salvage difficult, risking amputation. Choosing an experienced specialist ensures accurate diagnosis, proper treatment planning, and world-class surgical outcomes.
Signs You May Need Limb Salvage Treatment
Certain warning signals demand immediate evaluation by a vascular and orthopedic specialist:
Persistent foot/leg pain - Ongoing, unrelenting pain that worsens at rest or night warrants urgent orthopaedic assessment.
Blackened or infected tissue - Visible tissue discolouration signals severe vascular compromise or advancing necrosis requiring prompt intervention.
Non-healing wounds - Wounds resistant to standard treatment over weeks indicate underlying bone or vascular pathology.
Reduced blood flow - Diminished circulation causes tissue deterioration, threatening long-term limb viability without surgical correction.
Numbness or cold limbs - Persistent sensory loss or abnormal limb temperature reflects compromised nerve and vascular supply.
How Limb Salvage Surgery Works
Limb salvage surgery combines precise imaging, reconstruction, and rehabilitation to remove diseased bone and tumour while keeping the limb intact and restoring functional limb movement.
Step 1: Pre-Surgical Imaging
MRI and CT scans map the tumour location, identifying nearby nerves, blood vessels, and vital structures before surgery begins.
Step 2: Tumour Shrinkage
Chemotherapy or radiotherapy is used for tumour shrinkage, improving complete tumour removal outcomes while protecting healthy bone and muscle.
Step 3: Precise Tissue Excision
Diseased tissue is excised with precision, ensuring nerve protection, blood vessel protection, and healthy tissue preservation throughout the procedure.
Step 4: Bone Reconstruction
Prosthetic implants, bone grafts, or expandable implants restore bone structure, with donor grafts used when needed, including for children.
Step 5: Soft Tissue Reconstruction
Soft tissue reconstruction rebuilds muscles, tendons, and skin, restoring limb function and enabling support and movement post-surgery.
Step 6: Physiotherapy & Recovery
Physiotherapy drives recovery, rebuilding strength, flexibility, and coordination so patients return to school, work, sports, and daily activities.

Recovery After Limb Salvage Surgery
Rehabilitation following orthopaedic surgery is rarely linear — recovery time depends on procedure complexity, ranging from 1-2 months for minimally invasive procedures to 3-4 months for traditional surgeries.
Hospital Stay - Duration varies based on surgical recovery progress and complications prevention.
Gradual Healing - Post-surgery recovery advances incrementally through structured rehabilitation milestones.
Regular Dressing & Follow-Up - Consistent wound monitoring ensures smooth recovery and early intervention.
