Pathological fracture due to malignant neoplasm
Keywords:
pathological fracture, metastatic bone disease, internal fixationAbstract
Pathological fractures can be caused by any type of bone tumor, but the majority of pathologic fractures in the elderly are secondary to metastatic carcinomas. Multiple myeloma is also common in the elderly and has a high incidence of pathologic fractures. The surgical treatment of impending or pathologic fracture are to provide pain relief and a functionally stable and durable construct that will allow the patient to ambulate shortly after surgery. Fixation of metastatic pathologic fractures requires reinforcement or replacement of the compromised bone with a rigid and durable construct. Aim of the study-is to evaluate pathological fracture in metastatic disease of bone fromdifferent type of malignancy. Material and methods-This is a retrospective analysis of 50 patients of histopathologically proven metastatic bone disease, evaluated for pathological fracture in Mahavir Cancer Sansthan during 2014-2016. Results-Out of 50 patients of metastatic bone disease 13 (26%) patients had pathological fracture.Maximum numbers of patients 6(46.1%) belongs to age range of 50-59 years. Out of 13 patients, 7(53.8%) were male 6(46.1%) patients were female.
