Pathologic fractures of the proximal femur resulting from primary bone sarcomas are often difficult to treat and some are often not recognized resulting in inappropriate interventions prior to the correct diagnosis being made. The aim of the study was to identify factors determining the survival after pathologic fractures of the proximal femur resulting from nonosteogenic primary bone sarcomas.
