The function of the abductor mechanism (AM) of the hip can be disturbed, or even
compromised, following tumor resection in the hip area. The consequences are instability …

Background There is conflicting data regarding the optimal abductor mechanism (AM) repair
technique after resection of proximal femur tumors. We sought to compare functional …

during total hip arthroplasty (THA). Proximal femoral replacement (PFR), initially used for …

Methods: A retrospective review of patients who underwent proximal femoral arthroplasty
with a minimum follow-up of 12 months was conducted. Patients were divided into two …

Introduction Femoral megaprostheses are used for bone reconstruction surgery in patients
with local tumors or who require multiple revisions. Patient reported outcome measures …

Abstract Purpose Proximal femur megaprostheses (PFMPs) are used to manage large bone
defects in both non-oncological indications (NOI) and oncological indications (OI). However …

Background: The Harrington surgical technique makes it possible to manage complex,

Background Patients with a bone sarcoma who undergo limb-sparing surgery and
reconstruction with a tumor prosthesis in the lower extremity have been shown to have …

Background While modular reconstruction implants can be used to replace the bone lost
after bone tumor resection, tumor excision from the neighboring soft tissues can lead to loss …

Background Soft-tissue functional reconstruction is important for restoring hip function in
proximal femoral replacement for tumor resection. This study evaluated the functional …
