Summary
Total femur replacement (TFR) offers a limb salvage option for complex cases. This extensive surgery successfully treated a patient with a severe femur fracture, avoiding amputation and showing positive long-term outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Oncology
- Reconstructive Surgery
Background:
- Total femur replacement (TFR) is typically used for limb salvage in malignant bone tumors.
- Complications from hip and knee replacements are increasing, leading to severe bone loss and fractures.
- Revision arthroplasties with significant bone loss often leave limited reconstruction options, frequently resulting in amputation.
