Limb reconstruction is a specialized area of orthopedic surgery that focuses on restoring function and appearance to limbs that have been severely injured, deformed, or affected by congenital conditions. Dr. Dharma Kumaran’s expertise in limb reconstruction helps patients regain mobility and confidence after traumatic injuries or complex bone deformities.
What is Limb Reconstruction?
Limb reconstruction involves complex surgical techniques aimed at correcting deformities, repairing bone defects, and restoring the normal structure of limbs. This may involve bone lengthening, bone grafting, and external fixation to ensure proper healing and alignment of the limb. The goal is to enable the patient to return to normal function, whether it’s for walking, running, or performing daily activities.
Conditions Treated with Limb Reconstruction:
Severe Fractures:
Complex fractures that result in bone loss or misalignment, often due to accidents or trauma, can be treated with limb reconstruction to restore proper length, alignment, and function.
Congenital Limb Deformities:
Dr. Kumaran addresses congenital issues like clubfoot or bowed legs, using reconstructive surgery to correct deformities and ensure normal development.
Infection and Bone Loss:
In cases of infection or bone loss, Dr. Kumaran employs advanced techniques like bone grafting or external fixation to stimulate healing and restore limb function.
Malunions and Nonunions:
In some cases, bones fail to heal properly after fractures, leading to malunions or nonunions. Dr. Kumaran offers surgical solutions to correct these conditions and improve the overall function of the limb.

Whether the case requires internal fixation, external fixation devices, or a combination of techniques, each treatment plan is designed to meet the unique needs of the patient.
