[Temporary arthrodesis of the hip joint with fixateur externe in osteolytic pelvic metastasis]

Abstract

The report concerns a patient with extended osteolytic metastasis of the pelvic region including the left hip joint with a primary kidney carcinoma. A simple fixateur-exterior apparatus for arthrodesis of the hip joint including immediate painlessness is presented. The procedure is relatively simple and with little strain for the patient. Due to the overall poor prognosis of the underlying disease, in our opinion the most simple procedure should be chosen over any complex external constructions or invasive procedures.
