Endoprosthetic Replacement for Pathological Fractures of the Hip: A 35-year Update

Endoprosthetic Replacement for Pathological Fractures of the Hip: A 35-year Update

This study will be based on a retrospective review of patients who received endoprosthetic reconstruction for pathologic fracture of the proximal femur. The objectives would be two-fold: (1) to compare rates ofambulation, pain, and survival to the historic cohort and (2) to identify predictors of ambulation in the current population.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Participants have received endoprosthetic reconstruction for pathologic fracture of the proximal femur

Exclusion Criteria:

• Participants with fractures greater than 3mm from the lesser trochanter
• Participants without histopathologic confirmation of tumor
