Popis:	A personal experience is recounted of operations in cases of tumour involving the humerus or femur with restoration by endoprostheses. Twenty-four patients were treated in this way from 1950 to 1969 inclusive and have been followed up for between four and twenty-four years. The patients selected for treatment have presented chondrosarcoma (ten), so-called benign giant-cell tumour of bone, usually recurrent (nine), angiomatous osteolysis (two), seemingly single thyroid or renal metastasis (two), and ununited pathological fracture after irradiation of a tumour (one). Development of the prostheses from early beginnings is outlined. Some points in surgical management are referred to. The complications and results are recorded.
