ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
As adjuvant treatments for musculoskeletal malignancies improve expectations of preserved function increase. We questioned whether computer navigation for distal femoral reconstruction would improve outcomes.METHODS:
Twenty oncology patients were reviewed after distal femoral reconstruction using navigation. Outcomes included local recurrence, implant revision, patient function, patellofemoral complications and leg-length inequality.RESULTS:
Implant survivorship was 85% at 26 months. There were no local recurrences and 3 failures for aseptic loosening. Good functional outcomes were observed in remaining cases.CONCLUSION:
Computer navigation for distal femoral reconstruction resulted in acceptable functional outcomes and implant survivorship. Reduced local recurrence were observed at intermediate follow-up. Level of Evidence Level IV.
