Podcast 633: Pathologic Femur Fractures

Podcast 633: Pathologic Femur Fractures

Contributor: Jared Scott, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • Pathologic bone fractures occur due to weakened bones from chronic disease and with less force when compared to non-pathologic fractures
  • Can be due to bone tumors, bone cysts, infections (osteomyelitis), osteogenesis imperfecta, Paget's disease of bone, and multiple myeloma
  • Have moth bitten or lytic appearance and you can sometimes see the periosteum peeling away from the bone
