Aseptic loosening is one of the most common causes of revision of distal femoral endoprostheses and is considered a mid- to long-term complication. There are not many reports of 10-year survivorship free from aseptic loosening and all-cause survivorship in cemented stems. To our knowledge, there are no reports on radiographic features that are associated with aseptic loosening of these implants.
