How long can megaprostheses last?

The duration of the megaprostheses was definitely influenced by confusing factors connected to the type of patients initially treated or affected by oncological illness. The longevity of the implants is difficult to measure because the life expectancy of such patients is limited.

These implants, if used in non-cancer post-traumatic patients or those suffering from periprosthetic bone loss seem to offer a duration comparable to the common prosthesis.
