ObjectivesAs adjuvant treatments for musculoskeletal malignancies improve expectations of preserved function increase. We questioned whether computer navigation for distal femoral reconstruction would improve outcomes.MethodsTwenty oncology patients were reviewed after distal femoral reconstruction using navigation. Outcomes included local recurrence, implant revision, patient function, patellofemoral complications and leg-length inequality.ResultsImplant survivorship was 85% at 26 months. There were no local recurrences and 3 failures for aseptic loosening. Good functional outcomes were observed in remaining cases.ConclusionComputer navigation for distal femoral reconstruction resulted in acceptable functional outcomes and implant survivorship. Reduced local recurrence were observed at intermediate follow-up.Level of Evidence: Level IV
