An endoprosthesis is an artificial device, often containing metal, placed inside the body to replace a missing body part. This study will explore whether people with an endoprosthesis due to bone cancer experience memory, thinking, or heart problems. Participants will complete an interview and questionnaires about their cognition. A close friend, spouse, or relative will also be interviewed about the participant's day-to-day cognition. Participants will provide blood samples and have echocardiograms at the start of the study, and after one and two years. Researchers will assess any changes in participant cognition, heart health, and the concentration of metals (cobalt, chromium, and titanium) in the blood over time.
