Periprosthetic Joint Infection in Megaprostheses

Treatment of malignant bone tumors has always represented a significant challenge for orthopedic surgeons, which is why the exploration of innovative approaches has been necessary. In the past, amputation was the primary method employed to eradicate cancerous tissue, although with considerable physical and psychological repercussions for patients. The complete removal of the affected limb not only impacted mobility and functionality but also had far-reaching consequences on overall quality of life. With the evolution of medical practices, amputation has gradually taken a backseat, and limb-sparing surgeries have made a gain in both acceptance and use.
