LPCs can be free-standing entities, be a part of a hospital, be a part of a practice, or be centered around an office-based lab (OBL) or an ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC). It is logical for the LPC to be centered around an OBL/ASC and wound care center, since most of the procedures required for limb preservation can be performed in the OBL/ASC and wound care center. The most common causes of limb loss are diabetic complications such as Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), ischemia with or without infection, followed by osteomyelitis, trauma, venous disease and other minor causes like frostbite, tumor etc. Optimal care can only be realized using a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach.
