Advanced Limb Salvage & 3D Megaprosthetic Reconstruction

Modular Titanium Megaprosthetics & Pediatric Growing Implants

Dr. Deepak Garg delivers signature Limb Salvage Surgery for children, adolescents, and adults suffering from malignant bone tumors and aggressive sarcomas. Using custom 3D-printed titanium megaprostheses, extendable non-invasive magnetic growing prostheses for pediatric osteosarcomas, and recycled autografts, the affected joint and bone are reconstructed to allow natural weight-bearing and high functional recovery, avoiding the physical and psychological trauma of limb amputation.

Custom Modular Megaprostheses: Distal femur, proximal tibia, proximal humerus & total femur replacements
Pediatric Expandable Growing Implants: Non-invasive magnetic lengthening accommodating child growth
Soft Tissue Flap Coverage: Reconstructs musculotendinous envelopes to ensure durable skin coverage
Fast-Track Ambulatory Rehabilitation: Standing and walking within 3 to 5 days of major reconstruction
