That would be really big surgery.
We will try to be ready to different scenarios according to intraop findings and estimation.

I heard from many european colleagues about anecdotal use of old hollow Kuntscher nails for that purpose. Prof. R.Schnettler (Germany)
recently told about 57 cases. I have only 2 such cases done last year, both on cementless stem. This approach is very attractive by that we 
achieve the same goal - "new long stem" but much less invasive.
