Abstract
When treating metastatic lesions of the femoral head and neck orthopaedic oncologists do not agree on reconstructing with THA versus hemiarthroplasty for patients with younger age and favorable histology. This investigation highlights the controversy of this clinical decision and indicates the need for a collaborative prospective trial among this specific patient population in order to determine the optimal treatment method.
