What Are the 5-year Survivorship Outcomes of Compressive Endoprosthetic Osseointegration Fixation of the Femur?

Abstract

Background: Aseptic complications such as stress shielding leading to bone loss are major problems associated with revision of cemented and uncemented long-stem tumor endoprostheses. Endoprosthetic reconstruction using compressive osseointegration fixation is a relatively new limb salvage technology designed to enhance osseointegration, prevent stress shielding, and provide fixation for short end-segments.
