Tumour endoprostheses have facilitated limb-salvage procedures in primary bone and soft
tissue sarcomas, and are increasingly being used in symptomatic metastases of the long …

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

The clinical treatment of bone defects includes allogeneic bone transplantation and
autologous bone transplantation. However, they all have their own limitations, and the scope …

Reconstruction of the proximal humerus after tumour resection is a surgical challenge. The
goal consists not only in reconstructing the resected bone segment, but also in restoring a …

Abstract Purpose of Review Megaprosthesis and Allograft Prosthesis Composite (APC) are
the established treatment modalities for massive skeletal defects. There are a handful of …

Background Large malignant bone tumors and revision limb salvage procedures often result
in massive bone loss, leaving a short residual bone segment that cannot accommodate a …

Background The distal humerus is a rare location of bone tumors. Because of the complexity
of the elbow joint, poor soft-tissue coverage, and proximity of nerves and vessels, resection …

Abstract In 1943, Austin Moore successfully reconstructed a proximal femur using a Vitallium
endoprosthesis. This marked the first successful alternative to amputation in oncologic …

This study aimed to retrospectively analyze the follow-up results of cases in which the
adjacent joint was preserved using a custom-made uncemented short-stem design (hollow …

Background/purpose This study aimed to summarize the survival and complication profiles
of the compress® endoprosthesis (CPS) through a systematic review and meta-analysis …
