Core Tip

Core Tip: Extendable endoprosthesis replacements have been improved over the years and are now an established and safe alternative. Noninvasive prostheses appear to be advantageous compared to minimally invasive expandable prostheses that require multiple surgical procedures, but the complication rate remains high. Due to reported high complication rates, the procedures require significant experience and are recommended for use only in specialized cancer centers.
