Purpose: Proximal femur megaprostheses (PFMPs) are used to manage large bone defects in both non-oncological indications (NOI) and oncological indications (OI). However, little is known about the comparative risks of reoperation and functional outcomes between these groups. This study aimed to evaluate the cumulative incidences of reoperation and functional results of PFMPs between NOI and OI.

Background: The Compress is designed to achieve bone formation and stability by applying pressure at the bone-implant interface, minimizing the likelihood of aseptic loosening, which is a complication of stem implants. Herein, we report two cases of implant failure using the Compress.
Case Presentation: Case 1 describes a 36 year-old Japanese man who underwent extraarticular tumor resection, Compress arthroplasty, and reconstruction with a gastrocnemius flap after preoperative chemotherapy for a secondary malignant giant cell tumor in the right distal femur.

Article Synopsis
- A 50-year-old man presented with a large mass in his left thigh causing significant pain and impaired functionality, with imaging showing widespread tumors in several body parts, but the primary cancer source was unknown.
- Despite rapid tumor progression, he began treatment with nivolumab, an immunotherapy drug, and further genomic profiling led to a re-diagnosis of SMARCA4-deficient epithelioid sarcoma.
- After 5 weeks of treatment, the patient showed significant improvement despite facing some immune-related side effects; by the 12th dose, he had a positive response to the therapy with no new complications.
