Abstract

PFA is an established treatment method for the management of bone loss following oncological resection [1]. PFA is also rarely used for non-neoplastic conditions with a massive femoral bone loss [2]. The main reasons for major proximal femoral segmental defects or massive bone loss following THA are septic and aseptic loosening, periprosthetic fractures and multiple previous failed reconstructive procedures [3]. Possible treatment options for these patients include:
