[Surgical therapy of metastases of the proximal femur and acetabulum]
Abstract
An analysis of indications and operative techniques was carried out in 166 patients with skeletal metastases of the proximal femur and acetabulum. Complications as well as functional and oncological results clearly show advantages and disadvantages of different methods such as osteosyntheses, standard hip prostheses and tumour prostheses referring to the tumour's localization and extent.
