Predictive Factors for Failed Nonsurgical Management of Long Bone Metastasis and Myeloma
Radiograph measurements of cortical involvement were the most clinically relevant for determination of metastatic lesion fracture risk; however, predictors of local failure not addressed in Mirels' score should be considered in clinical decisions about prophylactic fixation. Surgery may be underperformed for histologies commonly considered to be "low risk" for local progression after radiation therapy.
