Abstract

Prosthetic replacement with modular implants has become the most common reconstructive tech¬nique of bone loss of the lower limb after tumour resection. The use of the megaprosthesis in bone metastasis, silver-coated megaprosthesis and the use of Trevira tube are not uniform and represent an "open question" about the use of megaprosthesis. The following paper aims to review the current literature in this topic.
