Abstract

Six massive femoral allografts followed up for 22 to 36 years are described. Three were intercalary, two were osteoarticular and one was a total femoral replacement. Their functional rating according to the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society System (Enneking 1987) averaged 82% (56 to 100). The radiographic score averaged 75% (48 to 100). Four allografts had suffered fractures, but three of these had later united to give good final scores. Our study shows that massive femoral allografts can function well for as long as 36 years.
