Rotationplasty Prosthetics

At Metro Prosthetic, we specialize in crafting advanced rotationplasty prosthetics designed to enhance the lives of individuals who have undergone rotationplasty surgery. This surgical procedure is often used to treat bone cancer or severe trauma in the lower limbs, involving the reorientation of the lower leg and ankle joint to act as a functional knee. We work closely with our patients to provide custom prosthetics that restore mobility, comfort, and functionality, empowering them to regain their independence and improve their quality of life.

What Are Rotationplasty?

Rotationplasty is a surgical procedure in which a portion of the lower leg is rotated and reattached, effectively transforming the ankle into a functional knee joint. This approach is typically used for individuals with bone cancer or severe limb injury where traditional reconstructive options are not possible.

Following rotationplasty surgery, a custom prosthetic is designed to work with the reoriented ankle joint, now acting as a knee. The prosthetic allows for enhanced mobility, providing a more natural range of motion and increased functionality compared to conventional prosthetics used by amputees. Rotationplasty prosthetics offer a unique solution that restores a higher level of independence and quality of life for those who have undergone this transformative procedure.
