Zusammenfassung

Die pathologische tumorassoziierte Fraktur ist insgesamt selten. Sie kann in jedem Alter und Knochen auftreten. Obwohl tumorbedingte Frakturen nur einen geringen Anteil der Knochenfrakturen ausmachen, sind das rechtzeitige Erkennen der Frakturursache und die onkologisch leitliniengerechte Behandlung für den betroffenen Patienten von enormer Bedeutung. Fehlbehandlungen sind häufig mit weitreichenden negativen Konsequenzen hinsichtlich des Erkrankungsverlaufs assoziiert. Die große Herausforderung ist nicht die zügige operative Versorgung, sondern vielmehr die adäquate Diagnostik und das Einbinden der lokalen Frakturversorgung in ein interdisziplinäres onkologisches Gesamtkonzept.

Abstract

Pathological tumor-associated fractures are overall rare. They can occur in every age group and every bone. Although tumor-related fractures only form a small proportion of bone fractures, the early recognition of the cause of the fracture and treatment according to oncological guidelines are of enormous importance for affected patients. False treatment is frequently associated with far-reaching negative consequences with respect to the course of the disease. The great challenge is not the expeditious surgical treatment but much more the adequate diagnostics and the incorporation of local fracture treatment into an interdisciplinary overall oncological concept.
