AB Background/Aim: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of knee rotationplasty (KRP) as salvage surgery for uncontrolled infection and implant failure of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for sarcoma around the knee in adolescents and young adults (AYA). Patients and Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 33 patients who underwent KRP and were grouped based on the treatment received: initial surgery for sarcoma around the knee (n=18) or as salvage surgery (n=15). Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score, range of motion (ROM) and postoperative results were analyzed. Results: All 15 patients who underwent salvage KRP had TKA as an initial surgery. Although there were five infections in salvage KRP, which originated from the initial TKA, all cases were controllable, no implant failure occurred. MSTS score and ROM were deemed acceptable in both groups. Conclusion: Salvage KRP is an effective option for uncontrolled complications of initial TKA for sarcoma around the knee.
