Hip reconstruction with a combination of prosthesis and recycled autograft treated with liquid nitrogen in metastatic subtrochanteric fracture can improve quality of life: A case report

ABSTRACT:

Introduction and importance

Palliative surgery with rigorously selected patients in treating metastatic bone tumour has become more popular recently. This article presents the use of autograft treated by liquid nitrogen in combination with hip prosthesis to reconstruct pathologically subtrochanteric fracture.

Case presentation

A 54-year-old male suffered left subtrochanteric fracture due to metastatic lesion from his lung cancer. He underwent one-stage surgery for hip tumour resection and reconstruction using the composite of tumour-bearing LNTA and hip prosthesis. He was able to sit in upright position on POD 1 and then to walk without support one month after the operation. His EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-BM22 scores have significantly improved from 71 and 63 on POD 3 to
