title: Removal of bone cement from the femoral shaft using a femoral windowing device.
abstract: The authors previously described a method of windowing the femur that allowed good exposure for femoral cement removal and provided for reconstruction of the defect. Since that report, they have developed instrumentation to facilitate windowing of the femoral shaft. They describe its use in this report.
