Summary
Revision hip and knee arthroplasties are increasing, driving a need for total femoral arthroplasty. This case report details a novel tissue-sparing technique for complex femoral reconstruction in a patient with a failed knee replacement.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Biomedical Engineering
Background:
- Revision hip and knee arthroplasties are projected to double, increasing the incidence of end-stage prosthetic joint disease.
- This rise in complex cases necessitates advanced reconstructive techniques for the femur.
