Hi, has anyone heard of a “tumor prosthesis in your femur “? I’ve had so many hip replacements and revisions on my right side that I have very little bone left, very little tissue and very little muscle. I have an infection now and I’m being told all they can do is remove the hip and not put anything back in there and that includes a big portion of the femur. I’ve heard something about a tumor prosthesis that can be used in the femur to, at a minimum enable you to at least keep the leg straight or intact. Has anyone heard of this or had experience with this?
