Dear Sir/ Ma'am
I have. Undergone surgery for removal of giant cell tumor from my distal femur region of right leg , extended currettage with cementing plating was done. It has been 10 months since removal of tumor i am able to bend my around 123-125 degrees with 0 degree extension. I want to ask will this bone cement and plate be permanent or will i have to get it removed and is there any lifespan for bone cement?
