Patient went on to have prophylactic pinning of his Lt femur
This x-ray demonstrates that the intramedullary nail and screw are in place with no evidence of periprosthetic fracture. Hip and knee alignment are anatomical.
Case Discussion
This patient has a known history of NSCLC with bone and brain metastasis. Given the history of malignancy and appearance of the lytic lesions, these are in keeping with bone metastasis.
