Reconstruction of major proximal femoral segmental defects is one of the most difficult challenges in revision total hip arthroplasty (THA). One technique that has been successful is the use of a modular, long-stemmed prosthesis, cemented to an allograft proximal femur and press-fit to the host bone. Since July 1989, the authors have used this technique in 30 hips (29 patients). The trochanteric slide approach was used in all cases. Sixty pounds of weight bearing was encouraged for six weeks… CONTINUE READING
