Local Recurrence Survival and Function After Total Femur Resection and Megaprosthetic Reconstruction for Bone Sarcomas

摘要

BackgroundThe choices of treatment for patients with extensive tumors of the femur include total femur megaprosthesis or large allograft-prosthetic composites. Previous reports suggest variable survival ranging from 60–70% at 1 to 2 years. However, these studies described earlier prostheses and techniques.
