Pathological fractures, excluding osteoporosis, account for 5% of all fractures. This study presents diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms for interdisciplinary, causal treatment of weakened bone fractures.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics and Traumatology
  • Bone Pathology
  • Oncology

Context:

  • Pathological fractures result from weakened bone due to systemic or local diseases, excluding osteoporosis.
  • These fractures constitute approximately 5% of all treated fractures.
  • Effective management requires identifying the fracture's pathological nature and implementing interdisciplinary, causal therapy.

Purpose:

  • To provide diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms for managing pathological fractures.
  • To guide trauma and orthopedic surgeons in selecting appropriate conservative and operative treatments.
  • To outline resection and reconstruction options, including osteosynthesis, alloarthroplasty, and bone transplantation.

Summary:

  • The study details diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms for pathological fractures, categorized by underlying bone conditions.

  • Algorithms cover osteopathies, constitutional anomalies, myelogenous and inflammatory bone diseases, primary and secondary bone tumors, and post-traumatic/postoperative disorders.
  • These algorithms facilitate interdisciplinary, causal therapy for fractures in weakened bone.

    • Impact:

    • Enhances the management of pathological fractures by providing structured diagnostic and therapeutic pathways.
    • Supports orthopedic surgeons in optimizing treatment selection for complex fracture cases.
    • Promotes the effective use of advanced surgical techniques like osteosynthesis, alloarthroplasty, and bone grafting.
