Defects in femoral bone segments represent a reconstructive challenge; they are caused secondary to multiple and extensive debridement in cases of patients with infections, tumors or high-energy trauma. Different treatments have been proposed to address this problem, however, these are limited when it comes to large defects that generate instability of the implants in the native bone as well as loss of functionality and length of the extremities. In the proximal femur, allograft prosthesis composites have been described in the management of extensive tumor resections, but they are not yet widely used in the management of bone defects due to osteomyelitis.

Despite a poor initial prognosis and in-hospital complications, including multiple surgical procedures and foot drop, a favorable recovery was achieved with complete anatomical salvage of the limb at risk.
