What is a rotationplasty?

A rotationplasty is surgical procedure that provides an excellent cancer treatment option for patients with tumors in or near the knee joint, such as sarcoma. This specialized cancer treatment is best applied in children who are still growing.
During this procedure, the surgeon removes the affected portion of bone, along with the knee joint. The major artery, vein, and nerve leading to the foot are saved.
The lower portion of the leg is rotated 180 degrees counter clockwise and then attached to the upper portion of the leg.
The ankle is now on the same plane as the former knee, with the foot and toes pointing backward and the heel facing forward. Because of the rotation, the ankle bends in the same direction as the knee.
The surgeon will take into account the age of the child and their growth potential. Initially, the surgically-modified knee center will be lower than the unaffected knee. As the child grows and bones lengthen, the knee centers will match.
In three to six months, after the bones have healed, the patient can be fitted for a prosthesis. The patient’s foot fits inside the socket of the prosthesis and the ankle functions as the knee joint. In time, the patient will develop greater control, function and mobility. Most patients are able to walk unassisted and return to their regular activities, including playing sports.

    The fact that they design prosthetic legs with the idea that someone now has a foot reversed at their knee is absolutely genius. That way they can have a prosthesis that actually bends at the knee and they have full control over it. Just an absolutely mind blowing and clever solution.

    As a childhood cancer survivor I forget that people don’t know about it. I saw two kids on my ward that had this done. It’s really so innovative because you keep a real knee joint and the prosthetics have to be only below knee so it leaves way more mobility. I thought it looked a little funny the first time I saw it but when I saw the kid walk super well on prosthetics real soon it made me so happy. And after seeing it twice it’s really not that weird anymore ^^

    As horrifying a thought that is backward foot as my new knee joint is, I'm super glad that this not only works but is very effective, apparently. Still, I will never unsee backward foot as a new knee joint. That will haunt me until the day I die, and hopefully no longer.

Don't get me wrong, if the person receiving this is ok with it and they get their life saved, good for them. But visually.....yikes.
