Rotationplasty

Rotationplasty

Rotationplasty is an operative procedure where a portion of a limb is removed, while the remaining limb below the involved portion is rotated and reattached. This procedure is used when a portion of an extremity is injured or involved with a disease, such as cancer.cite journal |author=Agarwal M, Puri A, Anchan C, Shah M, Jambhekar N |title=Rotationplasty for bone tumors: is there still a role? |journal=Clin.
