Conditions Treated at the Center for Wound Healing
At the Center for Wound Healing at Valley Presbyterian Hospital, we believe
limb preservation begins with early intervention and customized patient
education.
There are a number of conditions that can put you at risk for amputation.
The majority of threatened limbs we treat and save are the result of complications
from diabetes. Other conditions that can contribute to a risk for amputation
include traumatic injuries, tissue damage, infection, impaired circulation,
and cancer.
As a specialty center for preventing limb amputation, at the Center for
Wound Healing, we specialize in treating certain conditions that increase
the risk for amputation, with amputation prevention as the primary goal.
