Energy cost during gait in osteosarcoma patients after resection and knee replacement and after above-the-knee amputation

JC Otis, JM Lane and MA Kroll

We determined the energy cost during gait by measuring the oxygen consumption of twenty-six patients after treatment for osteosarcoma about the knee. Fourteen had had an en bloc resection of the distal end of the femur and proximal end of the tibia followed by segmental replacement with a custom-made knee prosthesis and twelve had had an above-the-knee amputation followed by fitting with an artificial limb. Comparisons of free-walking velocity, oxygen consumption per meter traveled, and per cent of maximum aerobic capacity used during walking demonstrated that patients with resection and prosthetic knee replacement had a lower energy cost during gait.
