Die Behandlung maligner Frakturen des Femurs durch die totale H�ft-/Femur-/Kniegelenksalloplastik

Abstract

This is to report as an example of 2 such cases, the indications and operative procedures of total hip-femur-knee joint alloplastics for malignant fractures of the femur. This is an alternative to the exarticulation of the femur in the case of impossibility to fix the osteosynthesis material on the remaining femur. The higher radicality of this method in comparison to the common femur-saving way might lead to a wider usage.
