Abstract: | Background and aims Endoprosthetic replacements of the proximal femur are commonly required to treat destructive metastases with either impending
or actual pathological fractures at this site. Modular prostheses provide an off the shelf availability and can be adapted
to most reconstructive situations for proximal femoral replacements. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical and
functional outcomes following modular tumour prosthesis reconstruction of the proximal femur in 100 consecutive patients with
metastatic tumours and to compare them with the published results of patients with modular and custom made endoprosthetic
replacements. |
