Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Large bone defects may be caused by either bone and prosthetic infections or bone sarcomas. Many reconstructive techniques can be used to restore bone and joints in large bone defects.
Often, the poor quality or quantity of bone does not allow standard prosthetic devices to be implanted or requires large amounts of cadaveric or autologous bone grafts, with related risks and complications.
Today, custom-made prosthesis, as well as newer material such as high porosity trabecular metal, can help in the reconstructive process.
The aim of this Special Issue is to share the personal experience of the groups and authors currently working on articular and periarticular reconstructions in difficult settings.
