Abstract
|
|
|
|
Endoprosthetic replacement is the most frequently used surgical method for the skeletal reconstruction in the limb salvage surgery for malignant bone tumors. Modular prostheses are generally used for typical locations such as distal and proximal femur, proximal tibia and proximal humerus. Expandable prosthesis is used to overcome leg length discrepancy in growing children. Aseptic loosening, infection and mechanical failure are major complications resulting in revision surgery. Many efforts should be made to develop more durable and functional implants to improve the quality of life of sarcoma survivors.
