This would obviate the need for surgery on the uninvolved extremity as well as revision surge
to the affected limb. Modular expandable prostheses have been in use as early as 1976. Recen
non invasive expandable prosthesis has been developed. Lengthening procedures are done

Segmental limb resection is becoming a practical alternative to limb ablation in tumor surg
The addition of van Nes rotationplasty to provide a pseudo knee joint has been found to b
practical, functional addition facilitating prosthesis use. The modified van Nes rotationplasty
tumor surgery is not a truly limb-saving procedure but rather a limb-sparing procedure: it does
save the limb but spares some parts of it for functional benefit.
