Internal validation of modified Mirels’ scoring system for pathologic femur fractures
Use of MM scoring was found to improve fracture prediction over OM scoring when tested on an internal validation set of patients with disseminated metastatic lesions to the proximal femur. The improvement in fracture prediction demonstrated in the present study mirrored the results of our index study during which the MM system was developed.
