- Abstract:
- We evaluated pressure distribution patterns under the feet during gait in 20 patients after resection of malignant bone tumor and endoprosthetic replacement of the distal femur. In all cases, a modular cementless, hinged prosthesis had been used. The examination was performed after 4 (1-6) years. Shortened contact phase, decreased peak pressure, and reduced force-time integral during gait analysis were observed on the operated side. Peak pressure in the heel and the toe regions was decreased and the load (force-time integral) in the metatarsal heads and the big toe regions was reduced. There was a positive correlation between load under the foot and knee extension strength, measured isokinetically.
