Introduction And Importance:
Rotationplasty considered a limb-salvage procedure and has a lot of advantages when comparing it with endoprostheses or above-knee amputation.
Case Presentation:
We report two cases of young patients with osteosarcoma with rotationplasty being performed for both of them.
Clinical Discussion:
Patients with rotationplasty have less restrictions in daily life activities due to pain comparing with patients with endoprostheses.
Conclusion:
Our aim here is to confirm that rotationplasty is an applicable, successful and alternative procedure to endoprostheses or above-knee amputation, when doing it based on an accurate indication and patients regain their previous daily life activities and satisfaction.
