LIMB SALVAGE
A patient arrived at The POSH - Pondy Ortho Speciality Hospital, Pondicherry in critical condition after being turned away by three hospitals. The diagnosis: a Grade III open leg fracture with significant bone loss, soft tissue contamination, and vascular compromise.
The 90% amputation risk was real. With no definitive treatment, permanent limb loss was inevitable. Our trauma team accepted the challenge — mobilizing immediately for emergency limb salvage surgery spanning multiple stages over several weeks.
"Three hospitals said 'impossible.' We said 'watch us.' Every patient deserves a fighting chance."
