title: The Wagner prosthesis for femoral reconstruction by transfemoral approach.
abstract: 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.
