The secondary aim was to identify factors contributing to the complexity of surgeries for metastatic bone disease and provide insights for improving surgical strategies by analyzing operative time and blood loss.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Patients undergoing internal fixation for femoral fractures at 10 institutions between January 2021 and December 2023 were included. Traumatic and metastatic pathological fractures were analyzed, excluding patients aged &amp;lt;18\u00a0years and those with benign or atypical fractures.

Patients had 230 traumatic and 45 metastatic fractures, with proximal fractures being the most common (n\u00a0=\u00a0225). Intramedullary nailing was the predominant fixation method (n\u00a0=\u00a0231). Blood loss and operative times were significantly affected by the fracture cause, site, and reduction procedures (P\u00a0&amp;lt;\u00a00.05). Metastatic, distal, or diaphyseal fractures and reduction procedures resulted in higher blood loss and longer operative times. Multivariate analysis confirmed these factors as significant predictors.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Surgeries for metastatic fractures are more invasive than those for traumatic fractures because of compromised bone integrity and procedural complexity.
