Abductor Reattachment Methods in Proximal Femur Replacements: What is the Best Method?
Who can join
Ages 16 to 75 · All sexes
Full eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria: • Has undergone or is scheduled for proximal femur replacement by an Ortho Oncology surgeon Exclusion Criteria: * Non-ambulatory before or after the procedure * Subjects who, in the opinion of the investigator, have not or likely will not complete at least some portion of the investigator's recommended follow-up
About the study
The purpose of this study is to assess the functional outcomes in patients undergoing proximal femur resection and reconstruction with an endoprosthesis, based on the abductor muscle repair technique. The investigators hypothesize that those patients who receive reattachment of the abductors directly into the prosthesis will have better functional outcomes overall. Furthermore, the investigators plan to develop a simple, cost effective, and reproducible method to assess abductor function at clinical post-operative visits through plain radiographs.
