Bipolar endoprosthetic replacement is an option for reconstruction of the proximal femur to restore a functional extremity and salvage the limb. However, because these patients are young, there is a theoretical risk for long-term degenerative changes of the acetabulum. Currently, there is a paucity of data concerning the proportion of patients who experience degenerative acetabulum changes after reconstruction and whether these changes are associated with Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) scores.
