Abstract
The surgical management of acetabular and pelvic lesions due to metastatic bone disease is complex in nature. These patients are typically in a frail state, having severe pain, limited mobility, and impaired wound healing. This causes a potential for complications, a high concern for the surgeon. Compounding these issues is limited life span for these patients given the advancement of the disease. Considerations for patients undergoing surgical treatment are achievement of significant pain relief and restoration of ambulation, all while having minimal complications during the postoperative period. Management may also include nonsurgical and interventional methods. A multidisciplinary approach is required for the successful treatment of these patients. Although there have been various surgical methods described, there is still no standardized modality that has been noted. These lesions often require complex decision making, imaging, and surgical reconstruction.
