Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to look at two different types of surgeries regularly used for treating cancer that has spread to and weakened the thigh bone (femur). Because it is not known which of these surgeries is best, the investigators will compare the results of the two procedures. They are looking to see if differences exist (after surgery) in function, quality of life, pain control, and possible complications.

Primary Outcome

Implant-specific differences in postoperative functional outcomes will be determined throughout the study period using Toronto Extremity Salvage Score (TESS); the primary outcome assessment will take place at the 12-week follow-up visit.

Interventions

  • BEHAVIORAL questionnaires
  • PROCEDURE long-stem cemented hemiarthroplasty (LSCH)
  • PROCEDURE intramedullary nailing (IMN)
