Study summary

The study will review the use of massive segmental replacements in the femur, which have a porous collar with and without HA, and autologous stem cell augment. This is a randomised controlled trial.

Read the detailed description

The current surgical treatment of bone cancer patients and revision limb salvage requires usage of massive endoprosthetic bone implants. The incidence of aseptic loosening is a major cause of prosthesis failure in these patients, exploring ways to reduce such failures would allow extending longevity of massive implants in a relatively young population.

Current published literature stipulates that osteointegration could improve longevity of massive implants. Evidence suggests that usage of osteointegrated hydroxyapatite (HA) coated collar would reduce the incidence of aseptic loosening around the cemented intramedullary stem in distal femoral bone prosthesis

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Radiological outcomes (X-ray, CT)

    radiological outcomes to determine integration of implant into bone - bone growth

    Time frame: at 26 weeks (+/- 2 weeks)

  2. Radiological outcomes (X-ray, CT)

    radiological outcomes to determine integration of implant into bone - bone growth

    Time frame: at 1 year (+/- 2 weeks)

  3. Radiological outcomes (X-ray, CT)

    radiological outcomes to determine integration of implant into bone - bone growth

    Time frame: at 2 years (+/- 2 weeks)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Visual Analogue Score (VAS) pain score

    visual analogue pain score to determine improvement of pain over time, 0 to 10 scale will be used (0 = no pain, higher the number the worse the pain)

    Time frame: up to 2 years (+/- 2 weeks)
