Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has become a valuable therapeutic modality in cancer treatment over the last decade. In orthopedic surgery, RFA is used for the treatment of benign bone tumors and bone metastases. Complications are rare and, to our knowledge, bone fracture as a complication due solely to RFA has not been reported to date. In this report we describe two patients with a fracture in the calcar region of the femur as a complication of RFA treatment for bone malignancies. Since RFA is applied increasingly often, it is important to report this risk of fracture as a complication of treatment of lesions in the femoral calcar.
在过去的十年中,射频消融 (RFA) 已成为癌症治疗中一种有价值的治疗方式。在骨科手术中,RFA 用于治疗良性骨肿瘤和骨转移瘤。并发症很少见,据我们所知,由于 RFA 导致的单纯性骨折作为一种并发症尚未见报道。在本报告中,我们描述了两名股骨距区骨折患者,这是骨恶性肿瘤 RFA 治疗的并发症。由于 RFA 的应用越来越多,因此报告股骨距区病变治疗中骨折这一并发症的风险很重要。
