Lower Extremity Reconstruction & Amputation Care

Lower extremity reconstruction and amputation care represent two pillars of Dr. Lakhiani's practice: saving limbs through advanced microsurgical tissue transfer, and optimizing outcomes for patients who have undergone or require amputation. In both cases, the goal is to maximize function and quality of life.

Limb salvage relies on microsurgical free tissue transfer — transplanting skin, muscle, and bone from one part of the body to reconstruct defects caused by trauma, infection, tumor, or chronic wounds. With Dr. Lakhiani’s personal free flap success rate of greater than 95%, this technique can preserve limbs that might otherwise be lost.

For patients who have undergone amputation, Dr. Lakhiani offers advanced surgical techniques including targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) and regenerative peripheral nerve interface (RPNI) to reduce phantom limb pain, prevent neuroma formation, and improve prosthetic control. The Lower Extremity Salvage & Amputee Clinic coordinates surgery, prosthetics, physical therapy, and rehabilitation for comprehensive care.
