Modular Total Femur Replacement for Staged Total Femur Replacement

As the numbers of arthroplasties performed worldwide increase, so do complications such as prosthetic joint infection. Cases that require a two-stage revision of a total femur replacement in the femur pose an ongoing challenge to the modern orthopedic surgeon. Unlike antibiotic spacers in hip and kn...
