aFemoral sleeve sizes are 20 mm, 31 mm, 34 mm, 40 mm, and 46 mm. bTibial sleeve sizes are 29 mm, 37 mm, 45 mm, 53 mm, and 61 mm. cTwo cemented stems implanted with the 2 cases of LPS-DFR. dFemoral component used in 2 cases of LPS-DFR, and 1 case of S-ROM was the smallest size (xx-small). RKA = revision knee arthroplasty, PE = polyethylene, TC3-RB = total condylar III-rotating platform, S-ROM = Sivash-range of motion, and LPS-DFR = limb preservation system-distal femoral replacement.
