Management of metastatic disease of other bones
ESTHER RJ; BOS GD
ORTHOP CLIN N AM , 2000, vol. 31, n° 4, p. 647-659 Doc n°: 97576 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : DA539 - TUMEUR OSSEUSE Metastases to the scapula and distal sites on the upper and lower extremities are infrequent. Although these metastases tend to occur in patients with advanced disease, a distal metastasis is occasionally the sole metastatic location. Distal metastases do not pose an immediate threat to a patient's life; however, they may cause significant pain and disability. Appropriate management can considerably enhance function, quality of life, and, occasionally, survival. Seven cases of distal metastasis are presented in this article with discussion of operative and nonoperative approaches to management. Langue : ANGLAIS Identifiant basis : 2000213502 |
