Abstract

Severe femoral bone loss can be the result of aseptic or septic loosening, periprosthetic fracture, or iatrogenic bone loss secondary to the implant removal. The Anderson Orthopaedic Research Institute (AORI) classification has become a standard. The F1 defects can almost be ignored and require simple autografting or cement fill. The F2 defects are slightly more complicated with some associated cortical loss and require defect reconstruction and intramedullary stems. The F3 defects involve bone loss and soft tissue compromise and require defect reconstruction and ligamentous support from the prosthetic device itself.
