The Amputation Prevention Center, led by Dr. Steven H Silverman MD FACS, is dedicated to preventing amputations and improving the quality of life for individuals with limb loss. With a focus on early prevention and endovascular surgery, the center aims to address the impact and risk of amputations, particularly in cases related to diabetes and peripheral artery disease.
As an estimated 1.9 million people in the United States live with limb loss, the center recognizes the urgent need for intervention and aims to reduce the number of amputations, which is expected to double by 2050. By providing comprehensive care and emphasizing the preventability of amputations, the Amputation Prevention Center strives to preserve independence, mobility, and ultimately save lives.
