Trochanter/calcar preserving reconstruction in tumors involving the femoral head and neck

Figure 3 Radiographs of patient 3. A: Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging of a 64-year-old woman shows a high signal lesion confined to femoral head and neck; B: Postoperative radiograph at 6 wk after total hip arthroplasty with extensive excision at the intertrochanteric level shows an avulsion fracture of greater trochanter; C: Postoperative radiograph at 5 years after total hip arthroplasty with extensive excision at the intertrochanteric level shows no evidence of local recurrence and implant loosening or osteolysis.
