Joint-preserving prosthetic reconstruction for massive bone defects has the potential to be a new and revolutionary treatment option.

Postoperative patient satisfaction, pain scores, and range of motion results were found to be promising. We believe that this method has the potential to be the next stage in the quest for better treatment options for this condition.
