PURPOSE: This study assessed revision characteristics following distal femur tumor endoprosthetic replacement. METHODS: Fifty-seven procedures were performed between 2005 and 2019. The cumulative incidence of implant revision was calculated with death as a competing risk. RESULTS: The all-cause revision rate was 21.1% (n = 12) at a mean 65.3 ± 47.3 months. Competing risk analysis revealed a cumulative revision incidence of 12.0% (95% CI, 3.6-25.9%) at five years and 36.5% (95% CI, 12.8-61.0%) at ten years. CONCLUSIONS: We provide an accurate assessment of revision risk which is slightly lower than historical controls, with identification of failure modes to reliably inform patient expectations. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III. Retrospective Study.
