Message from President
The field of limb reconstruction deals with correction of deformities resulting from injury or congenital disorder. Now, many children with limb deformities can be corrected during surgery or gradually by using an external fixation device. In the field of trauma, it is now possible to salvage a severely injured limb using the external fixation device. Complications such as infection and problems with bone healing can also be treated successfully with the external fixation device. We also work closely with plastic surgeon, anaesthetist and infectious disease physician to ensure successful treatment for our patient. With the development of the new external fixation device, the technique of surgery and bone graft substitute, the outcome of treatment for limb reconstruction has improve with less complication.
