Reconstruction of the proximal femur after tumour resection can be performed with proximal femoral endopros-theses (PFE). Many studies have reported that bipolar hemiarthroplasty (BHA) reduce the risk of dislocation after oncological resections. However, progressive cotyloiditis which might require acetabular resurfacing (total hip arthroplasty [THA]) has been reported. The aim of this study is to compare the results of BHA and THA after proximal femur resection.
