Main Article Content
Abstract
Reconstruction of lower-extremity defects following oncologic resection is challenging, particularly around mobile joints such as the knee. The reconstructive approach must ensure oncologic safety while preserving limb function, durability of coverage, and acceptable aesthetic outcomes. Recent advances advocate a non-linear, individualized reconstructive strategy consistent with the principles of Reconstruction 2.0.
