Hydroxyapatite-coated Collars Reduce Radiolucent Line Progression in Cemented Distal Femoral Bone Tumor Implants

BACKGROUND: Aseptic loosening of massive bone tumor implants is a major cause of prosthesis failure. Evidence suggests that an osteointegrated hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated collar would reduce the incidence of aseptic loosening around the cemented intramedullary stem in distal femoral bone tumor prosth...
