Advances in tumour endoprostheses: a systematic review

[摘要] Endoprosthetic reconstruction in orthopaedic oncology has evolved over the last 30 to 40 years, with novel endoprosthetic systems and solutions developed constantly. Endoprosthetic reconstruction has made limb-salvage surgery possible in many cases, leading to a steady decrease in the rate of amputations.1,2 Long-term results of tumour endoprostheses are important to evaluate functional outcome for patients, possible complications and implant survival.
