Figure 2From: Safety aspects in surgical treatment of pathological fractures of the proximal femur – modular endoprosthetic replacement vs. intramedullary nailingSurvival curves. A) Patient survival. Kaplan-Meier curves showing survival for patients with proximal femoral replacement (blue) and osteosynthesis (green). B) Implant survivorship. Kaplan-Meier curves demonstrating survivorship of proximal femoral replacement (blue) and osteosynthesis with revision surgery for any reason at the site of primary surgery as an endpoint. C) Implant durability. Kaplan-Meier curves demonstrating durability of proximal femoral replacement (blue) and osteosynthesis with implant exchange due to structutal implant failure.Back to article page
