Abstract

Van Nes type rotationplasty is a reconstructive option for patients with congenital or acquired lower limb bone loss. We describe prosthetic rehabilitation in a pediatric oncological patient with osteosarcoma of the left distal femur that required Van Nes type rotationplasty and subsequent rehabilitation by a multidisciplinary team. Independent gait and functional improvement were achieved. Rotationplasty with preservation of the mechanism of active control of the pseudo-knee offers an adequate result for the adaptation of prostheses allowing functional and independent gait. Due to anatomical, oncological conditions and biomechanical changes, these patients require a rigorous prosthetic rehabilitation plan led by a multidisciplinary team which includes specialists in rehabilitation, social work, psychology and other professions, in order to provide timely, optimal care with satisfactory results in terms of independence and functionality in daily living activities.
