Join us this April to experience an inclusive and interactive agenda with interdisciplinary line-up of key opinion leaders, and the latest innovations. DLS is highly regarded as one of the world’s finest limb salvage events and brings together the most eminent lower limb specialists for an unforgettable meeting. In 2025 DLS is partnering with the Wound Healing Foundation for unparalleled learning experience. The Wound Healing Foundation was founded on the commitment to wound care and to provide patients, researchers, and health professionals the resources to make significant contributions in wound healing. This annual conference focuses on a multidisciplinary team approach that provides each member of the healthcare team with the education and resources needed to heal wounds and prevent amputations. It features a prominent international faculty that promotes the importance of a multispecialty approach in limb salvage. The course is designed for healthcare practitioners of all specialties and promotes an evidence-based approach with emphasis on take-home points, techniques, and functional outcomes.
