Limb loss due to diabetic foot complications signifies a worsening disease process. Preserving limb helps maintain the mobility, cardiovascular health as well as overall wellbeing of the patient. However, limb salvage is a challenging topic as each individual patient and wound condition is different. Determining factors for a salvageable foot may include post surgical tissue loss, soft tissue coverage, perfusion status and preoperative functional status. Management and approach to limb salvage should be patient-centered in order to achieve the best outcome. 1. Akhtar S, Schaper N, Apelqvist J, Jude E.
