Abstract
Rotating-Hinge Knee Prosthesis in Treatment of Malignant Tumors Around the Knee Joint: Clinical and Functional Outcomes with A Literature Review
Highlights
Segmental resections and joint reconstruction used to treat malignant tumors around the knee joint offer several advantages including maintenance of motion and early functional restoration [1, 2]
We report through this article, the clinical and functional outcomes of 12 patients followed for malignant tumors around the knee, treated by rotatinghinge knee prosthesis during the last 3 years from January 2017 to December 2019
The authors performed a retrospective study of the outcomes in patients diagnosed with malignant tumor around the knee joint treated in the department of orthopedic surgery B4 of the University Hospital of Fez (Morocco) with rotating-hinge knee prosthesis (Figure 1)
