Temple Hospital's new Limb Salvage Center aims to prevent amputations by identifying patients earlier. "We're looking at close to 100,000 Americans requiring a foot or leg amputation every year," said center director Eric Choi. Choi and his team are involved in a nationwide study of a new limb-saving treatment that grows new vessels by using stem cells from bone marrow.
