“…Nevertheless, the overall results, indicating a survival rate of 61.6%, clearly justify the use of this procedure in specialised centres. The critical argument of repeated revisions being required in patients provided with endoprostheses [1] is counterbalanced by the fact that the functional outcome in these patients is good and the quality of life remains high, even after several revisions [3]. One problem during the first two periods was the high rate of intralesional resections within the pelvis and the spinal region when en bloc resection without implantation of a prosthesis was used.…”

“…Although endoprosthetic reconstruction is a well-accepted method for treatment of primary bone tumors of the distal femur, the long-term survival of these implants varies from 67% to 90% at 5 years [22]. The complications for this reconstruction option are aseptic loosening (3%-40%), infection (3%-28%), and mechanical wear/prosthetic or component fracture (1%-67%) [2,6,8,12,13,15,19,27,30,33]. Intercalary allografts offer a joint-sparing reconstructive option, but nonunion, delayed union, infection, and graft fractures are well-described complications [20,21,23,24].…”

“…These few studies about the condyle-sparing or epiphyseal preservation technique have been case reports or series with less than 20 patients [4,23] but raise concerns regarding the adequacy of surgical margins and the risk of local recurrence when preserving the distal femoral condyle [23]. The rate of local recurrence for published series on endoprosthestic reconstruction ranges from as low as ''none reported'' to as high as 6%, whereas the rate in the allograft literature ranges from 4% to 10% [1,6,15,19,21,27,33]. However, given the variations in the reports, it remains unclear whether the local recurrence rate or revision rate differs for endoprosthetic and condyle-sparing reconstruction.…”

“…These limitations may be attributed to difficulties in the reconstruction of the extensor mechanism [3,5,15]. A procedure used to overcome this problem is the medial gastrocnemius transposition to the residual patellar tendon [3,8,14]. In the osteochondral allograft surgical procedure, a higher incidence of infection, fractures, and loss of fixation is reported [5,12,17,20,23].…”
