Abstract

In the setting of a benign or malignant lesion the altered physiology and mechanics may lead to pathological fractures. Patient outcome depends on proper diagnosis, staging and treatment of pathological fractures. On conventional X rays or computed tomography scan (CT) images it becomes extremely difficult to assess the clinical fracture risks.

Keywords: Pathological Fractures; computed tomography based rigidity analysis (CTRA)
