“…In the past, internal rotation of the ankle has been reported as a complication of rotationplasty (Murat et al 1967). It is believed that the patient had an internal rotation of the ankle.…”

“…The rotationplasty was done at the age of 12 years, an appropriate age, as suggested in the literature (Murat et al 1967; Kritter 1977, Kostuik et al 1975; Friscia et al 1989). It is amazing that the patient experienced no major complications after the rotationplasty for at least 38 years, but more likely 52 years, and was able to live an active life with a prosthesis.…”

“…The purpose of the rotationplasty is to provide a full-weight bearing leg with preservation of the ankle joint to function as a knee joint and the abililty to fit a prosthesis (Alman et al 1995; Fowler et al 1999). The duration of follow-up after rotationplasty varied in several articles from 2 – 14 years (Alman et al 1995; Friscia et al 1989; Kostuik et al 1975; Kristen et al 1978; Kritter 1977; Murat et al 1967).…”

Proximal femoral focal deficiency (PFFD) is a rare congenital anomaly of the femur. Rotationplasty has been described as a reconstructive procedure in the management of PFFD. A 68-year-old woman with PFFD of the right leg and rotationplasty at the age of 12 years had prosthetic fitting problems after a fall. The authors describe the analysis of the prosthetic fitting problems and the considerations made in prosthetic management. Following a fall, 56 years after rotationplasty, this woman has a good prosthetic fitting and a satisfying level of functioning.

Proximal femoral focal deficiency is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by limb malrotation, deficiency of the iliofemoral articulation, and limb length discrepancy. Advances in radiology, such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, have enhanced the assessment of pelvicfemoral instability prior to ossification of the femoral capital epiphysis. The histopathology of the fetal proximal femoral growth plate has been described, which has increased our knowledge about the etiology of the proximal femoral malformation. Data are now available regarding the long-term functional status of patients with severe acetabular dysplasia (Aitken Class C or Class D deformity) following nonoperative management of the hip. A review of the current knowledge regarding proximal femoral focal deficiency is presented to assist the orthopedic surgeon in evaluation and management.
