Hello there!
Thank you for asking. Cadaveric replacements have very high failure rates upto 25 to 40 %. And those not failed have other issues like immuno compromise or infectious complications and pain on the top. Find a best prosthetic surgeon and discuss the possibilities , he will select what is best for you. It needs a lengthy discussion and alot to talk about.
Good luck
