Cemented <em>versus</em> cementless megaprosthesis in proximal femur metastatic disease: A systematic review

Abstract: The proximal femur is the long bone most commonly affected by metastatic disease. There are many treatment options, such as hip megaprostheses. A topic still widely debated in literature is the use of cemented or uncemented megaprostheses in this kind of patients. The purpose of this review is to examine both these surgical options to understand which of them should be preferred in metastatic patients. Twelve articles were finally included in the review. Eight authors used cemented mega - prostheses, two cemen… Show more

“…Furthermore, excision of large segments of the joint requires extensive joint reconstruction. Allogenic bone graft or cement for this reconstruction leads to reduced joint function and a similar risk of infection to other internal plants [ 17 , 18 ]. Therefore, despite its limited indications, hemicortical resection followed by inactivation and replantation is recognized and applied by many scholars [ 6 8 , 19 ].…”

“…Due to heterogenic patient populations, different implant types and retrospective study designs, it is still unclear if cemented or press-fit diaphyseal stems show better results regarding implant survival in megaprostheses [ 1 , 3 , 7 , 21 , 30 ]. Investigations performed by Pala et al [ 31 ], Gebert et al [ 32 ] and Oliva et al [ 33 ] suggested favourable results in cementless prostheses, whereas Gerdemeyer et al [ 30 ] and Toepfer et al [ 21 ] found fewer cases of aspetic loosening in cemented megaprostheses of the distal femur in their case series.…”

“…In case of severe proximal femoral bone loss multiple treatment options have been described in the literature, including structural allograft-prosthesis composite, impaction allografting, long revision stems, resection arthroplasty, and proximal femoral replacement (PFR) [ 3 , 4 , 8 ]. Proximal femoral replacement, also known as “megaprosthesis”, is a well-established limb salvage procedure for reconstruction of bone defects after the oncological resections of malignant bone neoplasms [ 9 ] and the encouraging outcomes have broadened the indications to the treatment of severe bone loss in non-oncologic conditions [ 10 , 11 ].…”

“…Multiple studies have described the outcomes of PFR in oncologic patients [ 9 , 10 ], however, only few have described PFR usage in non-oncologic severe femoral bone loss associated with periprosthetic fracture, septic and aseptic revisions, or failed osteosynthesis. We therefore performed a systematic review of the literature in order to examine survivorship and complication rates of PFRs.…”
