2 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
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.
The purpose of this study is to look at two different types of surgeries regularly used for treating cancer that has spread to and weakened the thigh bone (femur). Because it is not known which of these surgeries is best, the investigators will compare the results of the two procedures. They are looking to see if differences exist (after surgery) in function, quality of life, pain control, and possible complications.
