The major complications particular to endoprosthetic reconstruction of the limb following tumour resection include:
- infection
- aseptic loosening
- dislocation
- wear
- implant fracture
These are in addition to other complications associated with major tumour resection, regardless of the kind of reconstruction, which include:
- wound complications
- thromboembolism
- neurological injury
- vascular injury
Local recurrence of tumour might be considered a failure of local therapy, rather than a complication.
