Femoral shaft fracture after hinge implantation


this week i attended a revision surgery.
patient was a 16 female
she had distal femur osteosarcoma.

in previous surgery we've used GMRS implant, stryker, the tumor had been removed and 80 mm extension peaces and femoral condyle had been replaced with prosthesis.
we've used tibial stem (80mm) and femoral stem (125 mm).

femoral shaft was fractured at the proximal site femoral stem.

the initial plan was to remove the stem and re-cut the femur and use a longer extension peace and bigger stem to fit wider canal in proximal femur.

that plan changed according to stem length and risk of penetrating the hip joint

instead, a 9 hole plate was used anteriorly with 4 wire in the extension peace area and 4 screws in proximal femur and achieved a relatively good fixation

do you think this may be the best solution or you prefer other approaches.
