10.6 Survival of Prostheses

Previous studies have reported revision rates from a minimum of 20 % (5 of 24 patients) in the series by Cool [24] up to 100 % (12 of 12 patients) by Schindler [34]. Comparable results have been reported by others [4, 15, 24, 35, 39]. Unwin reported that 105 patients with distal femoral extendible endoprostheses had a probability of survival of 80 % at 4 years 29. This author reported on the long-term results of endoprosthetic survival: 77 % at 5 years and 51 % at 10 years, respectively [6]. Recently, Ruggieri et al. showed comparable results of 32 primary endoprostheses: 78 % survival at 5 years and 66 % at 10 years, respectively [35].
