Survival and complications of skeletal reconstructions after surgical treatment of bony metastatic renal cell carcinoma

We conclude that endoprosthetic replacement be considered as the index surgical intervention for skeletal metastases from renal cell carcinoma in certain locations as this carries the lowest incidence of complications. Revision of previous skeletal stabilisation, especially when combined with radiotherapy carries a high risk of complication, including infection, which often necessitates amputation.
