Study of Surgery Outcomes Using Intramedullary Nails or Prosthetic Reconstruction for Bone Metastases in the Upper Thigh Bone

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are collecting and analyzing data from adult patients who underwent surgery for impending or pathological fractures of the proximal femur caused by bone metastases. This observational study focuses on treatments including intramedullary nail IMN, total hip arthroplasty THA, hemiarthroplasty HHA, and their variations, performed between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2023, at two medical centers. The study involves reviewing medical records, radiologic images, and histological data from approximately 600 patients. Researchers will examine the outcomes of surgical treatments such as IMN, THA, HHA, Mega, or MegaTHA to assess implant survival, complications, and functional results over an average follow-up period of one year. Participants clinical and imaging data will be analyzed to evaluate implant durability, surgical complications at baseline, and functional performance after one year. This review will help understand the long-term results of these surgical procedures for bone metastases of the proximal femur. The study is observational and does not involve new treatments or interventions.
