[Implantation of a pseudo knee prosthesis after rotationplasty: a case report]

Rotationplasty of the knee joint is an established biological reconstruction method with excellent clinical results for patients with tumor-associated resection of the knee joint. The changed biomechanics of the pseudo knee and high demand of the generally young patients commonly leads to the development of osteoarthritic changes in this area. We report on the implantation of an ankle prosthesis in the area of the pseudo knee joint, which made it possible to use a conventional exoprosthesis. Nine months postsurgery we found clinically good results and a satisfied patient.
