• ABSTRACT
    • Pathological fractures commonly occur in patients with metastatic bone diseases, particularly multiple myeloma. The current optimal management for metastatic pathological lesions affecting the proximal femur is surgical intervention. Surgical planning and appropriate use of imaging modalities are pivotal in the appropriate treatment of pathological fractures. Impending fractures create added layers of complexity in the decision-making process. The appropriateness of different surgical interventions involves a multi-disciplinary approach and the importance of holistic healthcare is paramount in these circumstances.
