Early loosening of the femoral stem in cemented segmental prostheses with distal femur replacement (DFR): a multicenter observational study
Early loosening of cemented femoral stems in DFR prostheses is notable, emphasizing the need for enhanced fixation strategies, especially in patients with a history of femoral canal cementation. This study provides valuable insights into optimizing stem fixation systems and addressing concerns related to prosthetic survival.
