- Abstract
Surgery for pathological fracture of long tubular bones associated with metastatic cancer was given to 77 patients (1993-2000): segmental resection with endoprosthetic replacement - 26; intramedullary osteosynthesis - 17; perosseous extrafocal osteosynthesis - 34. No intraoperative complication was reported. Infection-related postoperative complications, mainly in perosseous osteosynthesis, developed in 5 (7%). All patients were self-sufficient on days 3-10 after operation.
