Which surgery works best for cancer that spread to the thigh bone?
NCT ID NCT06918860
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks back at 600 patients who had surgery for a broken or about-to-break upper thigh bone caused by cancer that spread from elsewhere. Researchers will compare two surgical methods—a metal rod inside the bone or a replacement joint—to see which one leads to fewer complications, lasts longer, and helps patients function better. The goal is to help doctors choose the best option for future patients.
