A Randomized Trial to Assess Patient Quality of Life and Function After Alternative Surgeries for...
Proximal Femoral MetastasesThe purpose of this study is to look at two different types of surgeries regularly used for treating cancer that has spread to and weakened the thigh bone (femur). Because it is not known which of these surgeries is best, the investigators will compare the results of the two procedures. They are looking to see if differences exist (after surgery) in function, quality of life, pain control, and possible complications.
Device Global Registry for the IlluminOss Bone Stabilization System
Traumatic FracturePathological FractureThis is a multi-center, observational patient registry. The primary objective of the study is to collect safety and performance data on the IlluminOss Device when used to provide stabilization and alignment for the treatment of traumatic or impending and pathologic fractures.
Short Versus Long Intramedullary Nails in the Treatment of Proximal Femur Metastasis.
Bone MetastasesPathological Fracture4 moreThe goal of this interventional randomized controlled trial is to compare the clinical outcomes in treating extremities pathological fractures (fractures of limbs caused by metastatic tumors) or impending pathological fractures with short or long intramedullary nails. The main questions it aims to answer are: What is the rate of developing new distant metastasis of the operated extremities? Does treating extremities (impending) pathological fractures with long intramedullary nails have lower or similar reoperation rate than the short nails? Are there any differences when comparing the surgical-related complication, functional outcomes and life quality assessment between treating extremities (impending) pathological fractures with long or short intramedullary nails. Participants who meet surgical indication will be randomized into either the long or short intramedullary nail group after informed consent. The patient will receive bone fixation with the corresponding prosthesis.
IlluminOss Photodynamic Bone Stabilization System for the Treatment of Impending and Actual Pelvis...
Cancer MetastaticTrauma1 moreThe aim of this project is to assess the effectiveness of the IlluminOss pelvic implants in patients with pelvic metastatic disease presenting with pain, risk of pathologic fracture, non-displaced or minimally displaced pathologic fracture of the pelvis, and geriatric patients with pelvic fragility fractures. Results from this study will be used to confirm preliminary clinically and possibly statistically significant reductions in pain and improvements in function among these patients.
Metastatic Pathologic Fractures, Short Term Results
Pathologic FractureBone Metastases1 moreThis is a single center prospective study to compare the short term results of prosthesis, nail and plate-screw surgeries for metastatic pathologic fractures.
Safety and Efficacy Study of Treatment of Pathological Fractures in Humerus
Humerus Fracture Metastatic Bone DiseaseThis study will collect safety and performance data of the Photodynamic Bone Stabilization System (PBSS) when used for the treatment of fractures of the humerus secondary to metastatic cancer.

Humerus Pathological FractureThe purpose of this study is to collect safety and performance data of the Photodynamic Bone Stabilization System (PBSS) when used for the treatment of painful impending and actual fractures of the humerus secondary to metastatic cancer.
Denosumab: A Potential Treatment Option for Aneurysmal Bone Cysts
Bone Cyst AneurysmalPathological Fracture2 moreThe efficacy of traditional therapeutic approaches for aneurysmal bone cysts (ABC), such as surgery, embolization, sclerotherapy and radiotherapy, are often compromised for lesions in axial skeletons and adolescents complicated with pathological fracture. Therefore, denosumab, a new drug that has been successfully used in giant cell tumor of bone but has seldom used in ABC, was used to treat ABC in this trial.
Xpede Clinical Study
Pathological Fracture of Vertebra Due to Secondary Osteoporosis (Disorder)Pathological Fracture of Vertebra Due to Neoplastic Disease (Disorder)The purpose of this clinical study is to confirm the efficacy and safety of the Kyphon®Xpede™ Bone Cement in human use in China.

Metastatic Bone TumorPathological Fracture1 moreProximal femoral metastatic disease is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in cancer patients.protecting the entire femur using long nail or long femoral stem was hypothesized to prevent future fracture.However we believe that long stem isn't always necessary and won't decrease the complication rate.noting it's increased complication rate in this high risk patient category .
