Study of surgery for broken bones from metastatic cancer
Part of Cancer, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial looks at outcomes after surgery to stabilize a broken bone caused by cancer that has spread (metastatic cancer). It may help by improving how doctors plan and measure results after specific types of bone stabilization surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a broken bone (fracture) caused by metastatic cancer
- The fracture was treated with surgery using an implant such as an endoprosthesis, intramedullary nail, or plate and screws
- The bone problem is not a new primary bone tumor (not cancer that started in the bone)
- You did not receive only non-surgical (“conservative”) treatment
- You do not have a neuromuscular disease that affects nerves or muscles
- The fracture is not around an existing implant (not periprosthetic)
- You can be followed for at least 1 month after surgery

This study looks at people with cancer that has spread to the bones. It uses your medical imaging and records to understand your risk of bone fracture, without testing any new treatment.
This study follows adults with cancer that has spread to the bones and who are receiving radiation treatment. It looks at how interventional (procedure-based) treatment decisions affect outcomes by using information collected during routine care.
This trial looks back at past patients to compare two types of surgery for broken or weak thigh bones caused by cancer that spread. It helps doctors understand which option—a metal nail or a joint replacement—works better.
This trial compares having surgery to remove the breast tumor versus not having surgery for women whose breast cancer has spread only to the bone (and not to other organs). It aims to see if removing the primary tumor improves outcomes.
This trial compares short and long metal rods placed inside the thigh bone to treat cancer that has weakened the bone near the hip. It aims to see which nail length is better for stability and outcomes after surgery.
This study is creating a registry to track information about people with bone metastases (cancer that has spread to the bones) who need treatment for symptoms. It may help researchers learn more about these conditions.
