How limb reconstruction works
Limb reconstruction surgery involves rebuilding a bone or joint using a special frame called an external fixator. This frame is secured to the bone through the skin using wires and screws.
The frame can be adjusted to lengthen or straighten the limb, correct joint deformities, and replace missing, infected or damaged bone.

The London Clinic’s dedicated microbiology team plays a vital role in diagnosing and treating bone and soft tissue infections. Their expertise ensures the precise selection of antimicrobial therapies, effective infection control and close monitoring of outcomes.
The rehabilitation team at The London Clinic is integral to the patient recovery process. The highly trained physiotherapists and occupational therapists create tailored rehabilitation programmes designed to restore function, mobility and strength following complex surgical procedures.
