Objective To investigate the procedure and effectiveness of total femoral replacement for treating femur malignant tumor.Methods The clinical data of 9 patients with femoral malignant tumors who underwent total femoral replacement between July 2013 and March 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 5 males and 4 females, aged 16-75 years with an average of 44.8 years. The disease duration ranged from 2 to 6 months with an average of 3.5 months. There were 5 cases of osteosarcoma (3 cases were staged as Enneking ⅡB, 2 cases were staged as Enneking Ⅲ), 1 case of malignant fibrosarcoma (staged as Enneking ⅡB), 1 case of chondrosarcoma (staged as Enneking ⅠB), 2 cases of femoral muti-metastasis of lung cancer with pathological fracture. The visual analogue scale (VAS) score and the quality of life (QOL) score of the tumor patients were evaluated before operation and at 3 months after operation. The Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score and Harris hip score (HHS) were evaluated at last follow-up.Results Nine patients were followed up 11-58 months, with an average of 21 months. No complication such as wound infection, joint dislocation, and nerve injury occurred. One patient developed popliteal vein thrombosis, and 2 patients with osteosarcoma died of tumor progression. The VAS score and QOL score at 3 months after operation were 3.2±1.2 and 40.6±5.4 respectively, which were significantly improved when compared with preoperative ones (5.9±0.8 and 22.3±4.2 respectively) (t=11.314, P=0.000; t=–7.794, P=0.000). At last follow-up, the MSTS score was 15-29 with an average of 21.1, and the HHS score was 44-90 with an average of 66.5.Conclusion Total femoral replacement is an effective limb salvage procedure for the treatment of femoral malignant tumors, which can effectively restore the weight-bearing and walking function, relieve pain, and improve the quality of life.
