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 ^^

The tibia (larger of the two) is cut and connected to the cut femur. The fibula is left whole and the extending portion is inserted into the thigh (unlike what is shown in this video).

this piano man is the last person i expected to see in this comment section
I saw a guy with a backwards knee foot in a gas station in Wyoming, and deeply disturbed me. I thought it was some kind of backwoods “saw” type of torture performed on an innocent man. I finally found a closure with the help of this video. Thank you, so much.

Actually i think a lot less that you would assume. Som highly intelligent minds have surely looked over the problem and realized that this would probably work just fine. The hole crowing into place thing is surely not something that came into surprise, we been studying rate of growth for as long as we had doctors, and there alot of tel tel signs of how high a person gonna grow to be.

thankfully, we now have computer simulations to look at approximate results before moving on to the real thing.
I was one of the first patients ever to have any kind of nerve-sparing joint extraction. My sense of relief having it all over with was incredible! I felt like giving my surgeon a high-five but was still learning to use the foot he'd attached to my arm.
