Influence of stem design on the primary stability of megaprostheses of the proximal femur
Extended bone defects of the proximal femur can be reconstructed by megaprostheses for which aseptic loosening constitutes one of the major failure modes. The basic requirement for long-term success of endoprostheses is primary stability. We therefore assessed whether sufficient primary stability ca...

| Summary: | Extended bone defects of the proximal femur can be reconstructed by megaprostheses for which aseptic loosening constitutes one of the major failure modes. The basic requirement for long-term success of endoprostheses is primary stability. We therefore assessed whether sufficient primary stability can be achieved by four different megaprostheses in a standardised bone defect of the proximal femur and whether their different design leads to different fixation patterns. |
