ABSTRACT
Twelve patients with pathological fracture of the proximal femur were treated with reconstruction nail and bone cement during the period from 2002 to 2004. They included seven females and five males; the average age at presentation was 47 years [range 36 to 60 years]. The pathology was known in eight patients and in four could not be detected. The use of reconstruction nail and bone cement allowed the patients to mobilize early and continue their therapy of their lesions, besides, the use of reconstruction nail minimized much the risk of fracture of neck of the femur, a frequent complication with the ordinary nailing
