Background and Objectives: Allograft-prosthetic composite for reconstruction of the proximal femur after tumor excision is widely used as ail alternative to megaprosthesis. To achieve greater biological fixation, we employed a long-stem prosthesis that is cemented proximally into the extracorporeally irradiated autograft and press-fit distally into the host femur without any supplementary plate fixation of the junction instead of the standard all-cemented technique,Methods: From 1997 to 2002, 14 patients underwent proximal femur reconstruction with extracorporeally irradiated autograft-prosthetic composite using an AML (R) extensively porous-coated long stem for reconstruction of the bone defect of tumor excisions.Results: At the mean follow-Lip period of 65.7 months, only one patient (8.1%) developed non-union and another died of disease before union of the junction. The remaining 12 patients (85%) achieved union at a mean of 20.3 weeks (range, 14-40 weeks) without major complication. The mean functional Enneking score was 72.1% (range, 53-93%).Conclusions: These clinical results show that this reliable and satisfactory technique promotes union through compression at the host-graft junction with weight-bearing by leaving the distal portion of the femoral stein uncemented into the host bone.
