- Abstract
The Japanese Musculoskeletal Oncology Group have developed an original prosthesis called the Kyocera Modular Limb Salvage system (KMLS system). This prosthesis has a semi-rotating hinge joint and is particularly designed for people with an Asian body type. The metallic parts of the prosthesis are made entirely of titanium alloy. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes of treatment using this system following tumour resection of primary bone sarcoma of the distal femur.
