Pathological fracture is not uncommon in musculoskeletal oncological surgical practice. When complicated by infection, it is both limb- threatening and life-threatening problem. Pathological fractures require urgent investigation, not urgent treatment. We present the case of a 75-year-old man who presented with an infected sarcoma causing a pathological fracture of his right femur.
病理性骨折在肌肉骨骼肿瘤外科手术中并不罕见。当合并感染时,它既是威胁肢体的问题,也是威胁生命的问题。病理性骨折需要紧急检查,而非紧急治疗。我们报告一例75岁男性患者,其患有感染性肉瘤,导致右股骨病理性骨折。
