title: Severe femoral bone loss in infected total hip arthroplasty: surgical management.
abstract: The management of severe bone loss in a patient with a chronically infected total hip arthroplasty is a complex surgical challenge. The surgical alternatives are numerous and include the use of allografts, both structural and morcellized; cemented and cementless femoral components; and segmental replacement megaprostheses.
