I have just be diagnosed with necrosis on the distal femur and also have a below knee amputation on the same(24 yrs ago). I go for the core decompression next week and if this does not work the only alternative is KR or above knee amputation(the latter I want to avoid).
Has anyone heard of a KR in this type of situation? I know that the knee will not retain its original shape and a new prosthesis will be needed. The doc mentioned that since there was no lower limb the alignment would be difficult for the KR.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
