  • Title: [Acrylic cement in the osteosynthesis of pathological fractures].
    Author: Boero G, Serale E, Colombari R.
    Journal: Minerva Med; 1977 May 09; 68(23):1579-86. PubMed ID: 870860.
    Abstract:
    After outlining the problem of pathological fractures in patients suffering from malignant tumours, a recent acrylic cement osteosynthesis technique is presented. This makes immediate immobilization of the fracture possible, alleviation of pain and so early use of the fractured extremity. The personal series is illustrated and it is concluded that the technique also offers suitable prophylaxis when radiography of the skeleton points to osteolytic areas in which pathological fracture can be foreseen.
