Abstract Compressive osseointegration technology, which provides immediate, mechanically compliant endoprosthetic fixation, has been
adapted for massive proximal tibial reconstructions in an attempt to avoid aseptic failure encountered with conventional stems.
A retrospective review of 16 patients with resected tumors was undertaken to determine whether compressive osseointegration
can provide durable anchorage of tibial implants. Medical records, radiographs, and clinical examinations were reviewed to
assess surgical, local disease control, and prosthetic outcomes. The average age was 18 years (range, 12–42 years). Diagnoses
included osteosarcoma (12), Ewing sarcoma (two), chondrosarcoma (one), and undifferentiated sarcoma (one). Minimum followup
was 2 years (mean, 4.5 years; range, 2–10.3 years); no patient was lost to followup. There were no local recurrences. Four
patients developed metastatic disease; one patient died of his primary tumor, and another died from a chemotherapy-related
malignancy. Complications included one early deep infection that ultimately resulted in prosthetic loosening and the need
for an above-knee amputation. There were two late deep infections; prosthetic retention was achieved with débridement and
antibiotics. One patient developed aseptic loosening and underwent revision; the other 15 implants provided stable osseointegration
at last followup. Compressive osseointegration technology can thus achieve acceptable short-term endoprosthetic fixation results
and may reduce the risk of aseptic loosening reported with conventional tibial stems.
