Article Synopsis
- Prophylactic surgery for impending fractures in patients with long-bone metastasis is linked to better survival rates compared to those with complete fractures, especially in those deemed intermediate-to-high risk.
- A study of 121 patients revealed lower one-year mortality rates for those with impending fractures, alongside higher rates of home discharge and improved post-operative mobility.
- Results indicated that the type of surgical intervention (nailing vs. hemiarthroplasty) did not significantly affect survival rates among patients with impending fractures.
