Surgical Treatment of Metastatic Tumors of Long Bones and the Spine
Chapter
Abstract
We have operated on 42 patients with bone metastasis from various primary tumors over the past fourteen years. The number of operated cases of metastasis secondary to thyroid and breast carcinoma was especially high, since patients with such types of cancer have prolonged life expectancies in general. The sites of these operation were as follows: 27 in the spine, 12 in the femur, 2 in the tibia, and 1 in the humerus.
