Augmented osteoplasty for proximal femur consolidation in cancer patients: Biomechanical considerations and techniques.
Diagnostic and Interventional Imaging 2017 September
According to the literature, prophylactic consolidation of lytic metastasis located in the proximal femur is recommended when the Mirels' score is above 8. Osteoplasty alone provides inadequate consolidation but various devices have been used in association for better consolidation. The aim of this review is to detail the augmented osteoplasty techniques published in the literature and to report their safeties and their efficacies to prevent pathological fracture of the proximal femur. A Pubmed research found 5 studies that evaluated augmented osteoplasty of the proximal femur in cancer patients. All devices demonstrate adequate safety and low rate of secondary pathological fractures.
