Outcomes of Proximal Femur Endoprosthetic Replacement: A Comparative Study of Mesh Reconstruction Versus Non - Mesh Techniques
Dinesh Noel Gomez | Prashant Narhari | Azuhairy Azid
Abstract: This comparative study evaluates the outcomes of proximal femur endoprosthetic replacement PFER with and without mesh reinforcement. The study analyzes infection rates, prosthetic loosening, and functional recovery among 24 patients, divided into mesh and nonmesh groups. The findings reveal that mesh reinforcement is associated with a higher infection rate but shows no significant difference in functional outcomes compared to nonmesh techniques. The study underscores the importance of careful patient selection and further research to optimize PFER techniques.
