Patient-reported assessment of outcome after surgery for bone metastases.

47 In a large study comparing methods of lower limb reconstruction for proximal femoral metastases (n=158), Harvey and colleagues demonstrated a difference in mean MSTS of 70% for IMN and 80% for EPR at a mean follow-up of 16 months, but this did not reach statistical significance. 55 We would conclude that although there is conflicting evidence, post-operative function appears to be relatively well restored in all surgical options.
