Abstract
Background: rotationplasty is a procedure hoping that the patients function will approximate the function of a transtibial (below-knee) amputee with a fully functional ”knee joint. Objective: this study was designed to evaluate the functional outcome of rotationplasty. Methods: we used the musculoskeletal tumour society (MSTS) score including analysis of pain, function, emotion acceptance, need of support, walking and gait components in 28 children who had rotationplasty operations after one year of wearing the prosthesis. Results: our results revealed a good MSTS score with an average of 24.6/30. Conclusion: rotationplasty in children is physically and psychologically a good procedure in children having malignant lower limb tumours
