Modular Endoprostheses for Nonneoplastic Conditions: Midterm Complications and Survival

Abstract: The use of modular endoprostheses is a viable option to manage both tumor resection and severe bone loss due to nonneoplastic conditions such as fracture sequelae, failed osteoarticular grafts, arthroplasty revisions, and periprosthetic fractures. We sought to investigate both midterm complications and failures occurred in 87 patients who underwent a megaprosthetic reconstruction in a nonneoplastic setting. After a mean follow-up of 58 (1–167) months, overall failure-free survival was 91.5% at 1 year, 80% at 2… Show more

“…Infection was the second most frequent complication reported in 7.6% of the cases (44 of 578 hips), in line with what have been previously reported [ 32 , 34 , 47 ]. Among those, further surgery was required in 84.1% of the cases (37 of 44 infections), while conservative treatment with suppressive antibiotic therapy was reported in 15.9% of the cases (7 of 44 infections).…”

“…A great deal of progress has been made in the surgical reconstruction of bone defects resulted after resection of not only extremity bone sarcoma but also of metastatic lesions or other non-neoplastic conditions like severe bone loss due to trauma, infection and revision surgery, bone defects caused by nonunion, malunion, implant failure or peri-prosthetic fractures. 17,18 Every specific type of complication is under scrutiny and continuous research is aimed at developing new technologies and ways to prevent or treat this onerous situations.…”

“…Conversely, articles were excluded if describing the use of proximal femoral replacement for the management of neoplastic pathology, if published in a language other than English, if regarding patients operated on for TFR, or if describing outcomes of fewer than five patients [ 26 ]. Two studies [ 24 , 27 ], despite being very informative, were excluded because a distinction between proximal and distal femoral replacements could not be made.…”
