case_images: Clinically, multiple retractile scars were found on the lateral side of the thigh (Figure 1).

case_images: The weight-bearing full-length lower limb X-ray (Figure 2) was used to plan bone sections in order to adjust for correct limb length, as the position of the neo-knee is crucial and should not exceed the controlateral side.
case_images: Intra-operative aspect after dissection of the vasculo-nervous axes and resection of the knee and distal femur. a: tight; b: leg; c: proximal femur with broken IMN; d: sciatic nerve with divisions (peroneal / tibial); e: femoral superficial vessels; f: quadriceps muscle.
