Abstract
A description is given of a prosthesis for replacement of tumour-destroyed diaphyseal bone in the lower extremity. It can be used in a salvage procedure and as an alternative to intramedullary nailing or plating procedures. The method is not complicated provided that mechanically sound devices are used and technical errors are avoided. The operation time is short and the patients can be mobilized early.Keywords
