Introduction

The Western Infirmary/Gartnavel General Hospital orthopaedic department is geographically located next to the Beatson Oncology Centre, a specialist regional oncology unit. Pathological femoral fractures are the commonest reason for surgical intervention in patients referred from the Beatson and we have used them as a model to establish the demographic data, referral patterns, treatment results, and survival characteristics in such a group of patients.

Methods

We have collected prospective data for the last 4 years on referrals from patients under the care of oncology services.
