Popis: | We report the long-term clinical follow-up and survivorship analysis of 40 distal femoral replacements performed between 1964 and 1980 for traumatic, locally aggressive and malignant conditions. Custom-made prostheses with fully-constrained knee joints were used to replace a mean of 42% of the length of the femur. Survivorship analysis showed a cumulative success rate of 80% at eight years, with no subsequent deterioration at 18 years. Clinical assessment revealed 78% excellent or good results. Failure was due to infection in three cases, and in two to fracture of a now-outmoded femoral stem. |
