Treatment results of 59 patients with femoral bone defects and diaphyseal pseudarthroses were analyzed. To substitute bone defects of more than 6 cm permeable porous endoprostheses were used. In patients with normotrophic and hypertrophic pseudarthrosis stable osteosynthesis with interfragmental compression of bone fragments by shape-memory-effect tightening bows was performed. In patients with atrophic pseudarthrosis bone plasty with autograft was applied. In all patients the weight-bearing ability of the affected limb was restored. Total restoration of function was achieved in 75.6% of patients.
