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.

Typically the ankle joint becomes the knee joint. The limb is rotated because the ankle flexes in the opposite direction compared to the knee. The benefit to the patient is that they have a functioning knee joint and can run and jump.

The operation is also called a Van-ness rotation

I guess if it works... roll with it.

I wonder how it feels? If your foot feels itchy and you scratch your knee? That messes with my head!

Never heard of this before. Looks weird as hell but if it's functional then all is good.

That is straight up bizarre.

That would be a pretty neat party trick

Wow they are all so young, I hope they kicked cancer's ass.
