Rotating-Hinge Knee Prosthesis in Treatment of Malignant Tumors Around the Knee Joint: Clinical and Functional Outcomes with A Literature Review

Reconstruction for malignant tumors around the knee after wide resection constitutes a real surgical challenge. We evaluated by referring to literature data, the 3 year results of tumoral resection and joint reconstruction using rotating-hinge knee. There were 12 distal femoral and tibial proximal replacements. Clinical and functional outcomes obtained were comparable to those of the literature. Our prosthetic survival was 75%.
