Abductor Reattachment Methods in Proximal Femur Replacements: What is the Best Method?
Duke University
50 participants
Nov 10, 2017
OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the functional outcomes in patients undergoing proximal femur resection and reconstruction with an endoprosthesis, based on the abductor muscle repair technique. The investigators hypothesize that those patients who receive reattachment of the abductors directly into the prosthesis will have better functional outcomes overall. Furthermore, the investigators plan to develop a simple, cost effective, and reproducible method to assess abductor function at clinical post-operative visits through plain radiographs.
Eligibility

Exclusion Criteria2
- Non-ambulatory before or after the procedure
- Subjects who, in the opinion of the investigator, have not or likely will not complete at least some portion of the investigator's recommended follow-up
