Limb amputations are an unfortunate dilemma for both patients and physicians.  Limb salvage is a complicated consideration requiring careful attention to both short and long term implications.  Patients suffering from peripheral vascular disease, diabetes or trauma to the lower leg are faced with difficult choices. 

 

The Foot and Ankle Institute of Georgia is dedicated to limb loss prevention.  Losing a leg should always be a last resort.  The Institute's commitment is comprehensive, holistic, and incorporates a network of equally committed local and regional partnerships. 

 

Current partners include the local Conyers medical community and the Emory Hillandale and Emory Decatur Hospitals.
