Abstract

Introduction: Mangled extremity injuries in civilian settings are challenging conditions for the accident and emergency units of low-resource settings where salvage therapies may not be feasible or affordable for the patients. Case Report: We have described a successful case of initial conservative Limb Salvage management for a mangled distal left lower limb in a four-year-old male who sustained the injury when a vehicle ran over his extremity as he played by the road. The treatment approach was in contrast to the radical completion of Amputation with its attendant revisions, which are associated with similar injuries with the mangled extremity severity scores of 7. Conclusions: The benefits and challenges of the Limb Salvage intervention were discussed based on the literature in this regard, and a recommendation was proposed while considering an initial conservative Limb Salvage approach in well-resuscitated children presenting early with a mangled extremity injury.
