"Treatment of Pathologic Fracture of Femoral Shaft with Abrasion of the Lytic Lesion, Open Reduction, Cement Infusion and Internal Fixation; A Case Report"

Abstract

Pathological fractures are a rising concern in the field of musculoskeletal oncology. Their incidence rises, mainly due to the improved diagnostic and therapeutic methods that lead to prolonged survival. The appropriate treatment has not been yet standardized, but the current bibliography describes surgical treatment capable of stabilizing the expected life expectancy. Orthopedic cement infusion in combination with broad abrasion of the bone metastasis has been described, although more research is needed.
