Is osseous reattachment of the greater trochanter necessary compared to soft‐tissue‐only abductor repair in proximal femoral megaprosthesis reconstruction?

One of the challenges to surgical reconstruction following oncologic proximal femur resection is reliable re‐establishment of the abductor mechanism. Surgical and functional outcomes following re‐approximation of the abductor mechanism to a metallic endoprosthetic after tumor resection of the proximal femur have not been well established in the literature.
