Table 1 Types of total femoral replacement prostheses
Feature | Intramedullary TFR system | Tumor-style TFR system |
Basic design | Modular hip femoral component; Constrained knee femoral component with customized intercalary segments; May require strut allografts and cerclage cables | Modular and available in multiple lengths |
Femoral bone stock | Possibility of preservation; can maintain muscle attachment | Absent |
Distal femur resection | Can preserve distal femur or remove femoral component using standard revision techniques | Entire distal femur can be removed by subperiosteal dissection (less bleeding) |
Tibial component | Suitable for constrained condylar articulation | Suitable for rotating hinge articulation |
