The stability of the hip after the use of a proximal femoral endoprosthesis for oncological indications

What is it about?

Hip instability is the most common failure mode after proximal femoral replacement with endoprosthesis. Instability is influenced by patient-, disease-, surgical technique-, and implant-related variables. Special emphasis on hip precautions or bracing may reduce instability in patients who are female, older than 60 years, and those with primary malignant bone tumors or benign diagnoses.
