Am. 90-A, 1265-1271 (2008). In total, 661 patients with endoprosthetic reconstruction (EPR) were followed for a minimum of 10 years. Medium-to-long-term results of EPR are encouraging and justify their continued usage.

The change of fixed to rotating-hinge system improved the survival of these implants. Long-term studies of modalities of reconstruction include prostheses with subtle design changes, which can make comparisons of early with more modern implants invalid.

Tumor resection from model pelvises was found to be unpredictable in the hands of skilled surgeons. Resection margins were often incomplete. This paper is a strong proponent of navigation-guided resection, which may allow more accurate resection.
