prosthetic bone. This retrospective study evaluated the long-term results of femoral revision …

Massive skeletal defects are encountered in the setting of tumors necessitating excision,
failed total hip arthroplasty with periprosthetic bone loss, periprosthetic fracture, complex …

The number of revision total hip arthroplasties is expected to rise as the indications for
arthroplasty will expand due to the aging population. The prevalence of extensive proximal …

Proximal femoral replacement (PFR) is a well-established treatment for neoplasia of the
proximal femur. The use of this surgical technique for non-neoplastic conditions has …
