Popis:	Improvement of the life expectancy in patients with metastatic bone tumors has increased the emphasis on preserving the function of affected limb. Between 2006 and 2008, we used custom-made endoprostheses in four patients to reconstruct femoral diaphyseal defects after excision of metastatic bone tumors. The mean age at operation was 65 years (55–78) and the median follow-up 10 months (4–17). Using the Musculoskeletal tumor society (MSTS) functional scoring system, the mean MSTS functional score was 67%. Local recurrence and mechanical loosening were not occurred. We conclude that diaphyseal endoprostheses in femoral bone offer a good clinical and functional outcome.
