Vascularised bone graft is an effective technique for extracortical bone bridging to combat cemented megaprosthesis loosening at the bone–implant junction

Introduction: The bone–implant junction is a potential site for aseptic loosening. Extracortical bone bridging at the bone–implant junction is advocated to improve implant fixation by forming a biological seal. We propose a novel technique with vascularised bone graft (VBG) to form an extracortical...
