Surgical Images and Radiographs of Rotationplasty About the Knee. Panel (A) is an intra-operative image of the patient with the affected tissue removed and blood vessels and nerves preserved. Panel (B) is an image of rotationplasty following surgical completion. Panel (C) are anterior to posterior and lateral view post-surgical radiographs. Salvaged femur is measured from the superior aspect of the femoral head (green arrow) to the junction site of the fused femur and tibia (red arrow). Salvaged tibia is measured from the junction site of the fused femur and tibia (red arrow) to the inferior aspect of the tibia (tibial plafond—yellow arrow). Note that when muscles are fused there is not a clear scar line as the ends of each muscle are overlayed.
