Distal Femoral Replacements are commonly used for tumors but more frequently for periprosthetic fractures.  Here I will go over some of my tips for the next time you have one of these cases.  It is important to note the length of the limb - prior to removing the distal femur.  I review my landmarks for accurately restoring rotation.  You will commonly see hyperextension and I will discuss why you should avoid chasing it with a thicker poly.  And how I treat these patients postoperatively.
