Abstract
Pathologic fractures from metastatic cancer pose formidable challenges to the orthopaedic surgeon technically and in terms of surgical decision making with regards to patient quality of life. We present the case of a 47-year-old woman with simultaneous bilateral pathologic femoral neck and acetabulum fractures and severe pulmonary shunt, who was treated successfully with cementless femoral and acetabular implants.
