The proximal femur is often affected by metastases. As femoral stability can be compromised by such bone lesions, stabilization as a palliative measure is indicated to restore function and relieve pain. Besides intramedullary osteosynthesis and endoprosthetic reconstruction, compound osteosynthesis is an alternative method for stabilization of the proximal femur.<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>Between 1994 and 2004, 34 compound osteosyntheses were performed for a tumor-caused lesion compromising mechanical stability of the proximal femur. Of those cases, 22 double-plate compound osteosyntheses and 12 single-plate compound osteosyntheses were performed for 9 pathological fractures and 25 osteolyses. Both techniques provided good primary stability. The average survival time after compound osteosynthesis was 14.2 months (range, 0\u201372 months). Double-plate compound osteosyntheses showed a lower mechanical failure rate than single-plate compound osteosyntheses (14.3% vs 33.3%) and a higher survival probability after 5 years (76.4% vs 38.6%). No surgical revision was required due to perioperative complications in any case.<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>We conclude that reliable stabilization of extensive osteolyses and pathological fractures of the proximal femur can be achieved with compound osteosynthesis. Our data suggest that double-plate compound osteosyntheses is a more favorable technique than single-plate compound osteosyntheses based on a lower rate of mechanical failure and higher survival probability.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3928\/01477447-20090511-14","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,8,14]],"date-time":"2009-08-14T14:28:57Z","timestamp":1250260137000},"page":"403-408","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Compound Osteosynthesis for Osteolyses and Pathological Fractures of the Proximal Femur"],"prefix":"10.3928","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Stefan","family":"Kinkel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jens","family":"Stecher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tobias","family":"Gotterbarm","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thomas","family":"Bruckner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ulrich","family":"Holz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2308","reference":[{"issue":"11","key":"e_1_3_1_2_2","first-page":"897","article-title":"Surgical therapy of bone metastases of the upper and lower extremity [in German]","volume":"63","author":"Friedl W","year":"1992","unstructured":"Friedl W, Mieck U, Fritz T.
