Orthoplastic Limb Preservation Society crest
Mission

A society at the intersection of orthopedics and plastic surgery.

Founded on a simple conviction — that limb salvage is not the domain of any single specialty, but the meeting of many.

I · Foreword

The Orthoplastic Limb Preservation Society was founded on a simple conviction: that limb salvage is not the domain of any single specialty. It is the meeting of many.

Our interests include lower extremity trauma, infection, oncologic reconstruction, and diabetic limb disease.

Our Society aims to support professional exchange and education across the disciplines involved in limb preservation.
