Background
With the aging population and an increasing number of total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) performed yearly worldwide, revision surgeries for many causes (septic or aseptic loosening, periprosthetic femoral fractures (PDFF), non-unions, malunions) are more frequent and challenging. Distal femoral replacement (DFR) is sometimes the only option to restore knee function and quality of life. DFR in non-oncologic patient is still a rare indication and few reports are published on this topic, with a non-consistent variety of functional results, complication rates and survivorship.
