    Combined osteosynthesis using plates and bone cement effectively treats metastatic fractures in limbs, allowing early patient mobilization. This method is also suitable for elderly patients with osteoporosis and does not preclude existing visceral metastases.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Oncology
    • Biomaterials

    Context:

    • Metastatic fractures present significant challenges in limb salvage and patient mobility.
    • Osteosynthesis offers a surgical solution for bone stabilization.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of combined osteosynthesis (plate and bone cement) for treating metastatic fractures of the arms and legs.
    • To identify patient populations and fracture types amenable to this surgical approach.

    Summary:

    • The study reports on 11 cases of combined osteosynthesis for metastatic limb fractures.
    • Indications include fractures in the elderly and high-risk patients with osteoporosis.
    • Early mobilization (one day post-operation) was achieved.
    • The presence of visceral metastases was not a contraindication.

    Impact:

    • This technique facilitates early functional recovery and limb use in patients with metastatic bone disease.
    • It provides a viable treatment option for complex fractures in vulnerable patient groups.
    • The findings support the use of combined osteosynthesis even in the presence of advanced cancer.
