Practical Input on Bone Tumor Imaging: Pathological Fracture, Risk Features, and When to Contact Orthopaedics.
Seminars in Musculoskeletal Radiology 2019 Februrary
Awareness of risk factors associated with impending fracture and its radiologic appearance allows early diagnosis, supports prophylactic surgical treatment, and prevents the multiple complications of a pathologic fracture. Because the femur is the most common long bone affected by metastatic bone lesions, we address this clinically relevant site in this review. The key to early detection of risky bone lesions is familiarity with the possible clinical presentation, biomechanical effects of the anatomical site (femoral head and neck, intertrochanteric zone, proximal diaphysis), and the lesion types (lytic, blastic, or mixed). Awareness of the possible treatment strategies depending on the characteristics just listed allows high-quality targeted reporting.
