Short Versus Long Intramedullary Nails in the Treatment of Proximal Femur Metastasis.

The goal of this interventional randomized controlled trial is to compare the clinical outcomes in treating extremities pathological fractures (fractures of limbs caused by metastatic tumors) or impending pathological fractures with short or long intramedullary nails. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What is the rate of developing new distant metastasis of the operated extremities? 2. Does treating extremities (impending) pathological fractures with long intramedullary nails have lower or similar reoperation rate than the short nails? 3. Are there any differences when comparing the surgical-related complication, functional outcomes and life quality assessment between treating extremities (impending) pathological fractures with long or short intramedullary nails. Participants who meet surgical indication will be randomized into either the long or short intramedullary nail group after informed consent. The patient will receive bone fixation with the corresponding prosthesis.
