Revolutionary Limb Salvage Technique: Breaking New Ground with Distraction Angiogenesis

Life of Flow

In this episode of the Life of Flow podcast, hosts dive deep into the cutting-edge world of limb salvage surgery with Dr. Michael Theodoulou, a podiatrist, Assistant Professor of Surgery at Harvard Medical School, and Chief of Foot and Ankle Surgery at Cambridge Health Alliance. Dr. Theodoulou introduces listeners to an innovative approach called distraction angiogenesis, which is helping patients with severe lower extremity conditions that have left them with "no option" for treatment.

• Dr. Theodoulou on the Impact of Distraction Angiogenesis:"We’ve seen significant improvements in blood flow and healing in patients with no other options. The angiogenesis response from controlled fractures can be remarkable."

• Hosts on the Future of Vascular Surgery:"There’s a real intellectual curiosity here, and the results are exciting. Techniques like this could change how we approach limb salvage."
