The Wagner prosthesis for femoral reconstruction by transfemoral approach.

The authors report their experience at the Orthopaedic Clinic of the University of Parma regarding 20 cases of revision surgery by transfemoral approach using the Wagner long-stem cementless prosthesis for the treatment of prosthetic failure. The authors observed that in 19 cases out of 20 after at least 2 years there was stability of the implant and progressive skeletal reconstruction of the femoral metadiaphysis.
