Abstract

The rotationplasty operation that was applied to proximal femoral deficiency cases before, has recently gained popularity in the t.(eatment of the malignant Iesions of the knee and the hip as an alternative to amputation and desarticulation procedures. We performed rotationplasty operation for the treatment of a patient with the osteosarcoma of the Ieft distal femur. Safe surgical margins and a functional stumpf with the mobility of the \"knee\" were accomplished.
