Abstract
Pathological fractures caused by primary bone tumours are rare compared with fractures evolving in response to general osteoporosis or bone metastases. Nevertheless in cases of fracture due to inadequate trauma the underlying causality has to be clarified including histological analysis prior to the operating procedure. This case report demonstrates diagnostic and therapeutic standards in cases of pathological fracture of the proximal femur caused by osteosarcoma.Entities:
