The introduction of multidisciplinary approach with chemo and radiotherapy, the advances in
surgical and the improvements of diagnostic techniques allowed limb salvage surgery in …

Background Excision of bone tumors and endoprosthetic reconstruction allow patients early
weightbearing and a potential functional advantage compared with amputation. These …

Background Modular endoprostheses are commonly used to reconstruct defects of the distal
femur and proximal tibia after bone tumor resection. Because limb salvage surgery for bone …

Purpose We initiated a retrospective study on the long-term survival of cemented
endoprostheses for bone tumours around the knee to answer the following questions:(1) …

Bone loss caused by stress shielding of metallic implants is a concern, as it can potentially
lead to long-term implant failure. Surface coating and reducing structural stiffness of implants …

Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the early stability, limb function, and mechanical
complications of 3D-printed porous prosthetic reconstruction for “ultra-critical sized bone …

New porous implant designs made possible by additive manufacturing allow for increased
osseointegration, potentially improving implant performance and longevity for patients that …

Aims Following the resection of an extensive amount of bone in the treatment of a tumour,
the residual segment may be insufficient to accept a standard length intramedullary …

We reviewed the outcome of 69 uncemented, custom-made, distal femoral endoprosthetic
replacements performed in 69 patients between 1994 and 2006. There were 31 women and …

Aims Rotating-hinge knee prostheses are commonly used to reconstruct the distal femur
after resection of a tumour, despite the projected long-term burden of reoperation due to …
