TKR in a patient contralateral hip disarticulation

At the point of loading in a patient walking with a single leg with crutches and no prosthesis, the knee is in 10 to 20 degrees flexion. Possible shear vector at the poly. What would be the ideal joint repalcement. She is 60, a case of osteosarcoma 30 years post diagnosis and now ca breast in remission after chemo.

Do we do a posterior stabilized knee. LCS or a single radii knee like NRG? any comments, suggestions are welcome.
sorry she has a disarticulation of lt hip and now OA of rt. hip

  1. Sorry sir, i think the case is not very clear....is it that the lady had an amputation after osteosarcoma of one leg and she is ambulant on only one lower limb?
