TI  - Tumor arthroplasties performed after proximal femur
pathological fractures and evaluation of their pelvic
parameters
AB  - Aim: Our aim in this study is to analyze patients who underwent arthroplasty for pathological
fractures of the proximal femur and examine pelvic parameters in eligible patients.
Material and Methods: Age, gender, operation side of the patients, the area of the
fracture in the proximal femur previous lumbar spine surgery, lumbar region metastasis,
postoperative leg length difference, postoperative dislocation, whether revision was
performed and the appropriate patient.
Results: 32 patients who underwent arthroplasty for pathological fracture of the proximal
femur were identified. Dislocation was observed in 2 (6%) patients in the postoperative
follow-up. The indication for the patient undergoing revision surgery was periprosthetic
fracture after a fall. In 7 of the patients, the cause of the pathological fracture was
primary bone tumor, while 24 of them were metastasis. The mean PI of these patients
whose measurements were made from the lateral lumbar graphy were 54°, mean SD: 38°,
mean PT: 11° and mean lumbar lordosis: 30°.
Conclusion: Arthroplasty can be successfully applied as an extremity-conserving surgery
method in patients with proximal femur pathological fractures, and the preoperative health
status and life expectancy of the patient also affect the results of the surgery.
