“…The complexity of a femoral reconstruction depends on the number of previous arthroplasties and extent of loss of bone stock. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons proposed a classification system whereby femoral defects are categorized as segmental deficiencies (any loss of bone in the supporting cortical shell of the femur), cavitary defects (containing lesions representing an excavation of the cancellous or endosteal cortical bone without violation of the outer cortical shell), or combined segmental and cavitary defects (19).…”

“…We obtained plain anteroposterior (AP) and lateral views of the hip and femur and CT scans, if needed, for preoperative planning and followup. We classified preoperative femoral bony defects according to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Committee on the Hip system [10] as follows: 45 Type II, six Type III, one Type IV, one Type V, and six Type VI. Overall, 31% of the preoperative femoral defects were limited to Level I (lesser trochanter), 56% had cortical damage extending to Level II (\ 10 cm below the lesser trochanter), and 14% had cortical damage extending to Level III ([ 10 cm below the lesser trochanter).…”

“…Various classification systems have been proposed to attempt to address this surgical challenge [1,7,9,10,12,15,19,29]. One commonly used classification is the Paprosky classification for femoral bone loss, which is a categorization based on bone loss location and degree of severity, and proposes a treatment algorithm for surgical reconstruction based on these measures ( Fig.…”
