FEMORAL RECONSTRUCTIONWITH ALLOGRAFTS M. Kerboull
Revision with a cemented prosthesisFemoral restoration with allograftsStandard femoral componentPerfectly suitable to a sound cemented fixation
MAIN SPECIFICATIONSFOR A SOUND CEMENTED PROSTHESIS A polished stem (Ra 0.04 m) ( < 0.1 m ) with a rectangular cross section A tapered shape with a taper angle of 5° Cement and bone subjected only to pressure stresses No shear stresses at the cement bone interface
4 TECHNIQUES Endomedullary reconstruction with impacted cancellous graft Cortical reinforcement with strut grafts Replacement of a destroyed proximal femur with massive allograft Endomedullary reconstruction with a massive femoral graft
ENDOMEDULLARY FEMORAL RECONSTRUCTIONWITH MASSIVE FEMORAL ALLOGRAFT « Double sheath technique »
INDICATIONS • This technique has been used • since 1988 • concurrently with the « impaction grafting » • preferred in cases of severe femoral structural defects • more logical to repair cortical defects with cortical grafts
ITS MAIN INDICATION IS EXTENSIVE OSTEOLYSIS DUE TO AGGRESSIVE GRANULOMATOSIS THAT HAS THINNED DOWN CORTICES WIDENING THE MEDULLARY CANAL AND LOOSENING THE FEMORAL COMPONENT
PRINCIPLES OF THE SURGICAL TECHNIQUE To repair the femoral cortex where it is destroyed, inside the medullary canal, by lining it with a femoral cortical graft
A. After prosthesis and cement removal, reaming and cleaning the medullary canal B. A massive proximal femoral allograft is introduced through the cervical orifice
The graft has to be carrefully shaped so that it excactly and tightly fits the medullary canal all over the extent of the pathologic area without splitting thin cortices Section of the greater trochanter of the graft at the level of the trochanteric osteotomy - obturation of the medullary canal of the graft and host bone by impacted cancellous bone - lining of proximal graft with a strut fragment C. Then a standard femoral component can be cemented into the graft The femoral component is a sheath for the prosthesis and the widened proximal part of the femur a sheath for the graft. This technique requires a bone bank well supplied with proximal femoral allografts. This is relatively rare, and the main limitation of the procedure is the difficulty finding a suitable graft.

Despite this failure, this reconstruction procedure seems to be valuable and reliable enough to allow us to extend this short series.
