Summary
Mega-joint prostheses are the gold standard in orthopedic surgery for limb preservation after tumor resection, enabling faster recovery. However, these advanced implants have a higher complication rate than traditional joint replacements.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Oncology
- Biomedical Engineering
Background:
- Mega-joint prostheses are widely used in reconstructive orthopedic surgery.
- They are considered the gold standard for reconstruction following joint and periarticular tumor and bone resections.
- These implants allow for limb preservation and immediate weight-bearing, facilitating rapid functional recovery compared to amputation.

The knee joint is the most complicated joint in the body. It consists of three articulations– two tibiofemoral and one patellofemoral. As is characteristic of synovial joints, the knee joint has a thin articular capsule that partially surrounds this joint cavity. Additionally, several ligaments, muscles, and cartilaginous structures support the movement of the knee.
A total of seven ligaments support the knee joint. The patellar ligament, which is also attached to the quadriceps femoris...
