    Figure 1.

    A 63-year-old male with renal cancer metastasis (left). After careful curettage of tumor, cryosurgery was performed as an adjuvant resection. An antegrade long IM nail with locking screw was used for reconstruction. After stabilization of the femoral fracture, PMMA was applied to fill the bone cavity defect (right).

    Figure 2.

    A 66-year-old male with renal cancer metastasis (left). The tumor resection and PMMA augmentation was not performed because the prognosis was estimated to be poor. This patient walked with full weight bearing against our recommendation and the stem was broken three weeks after surgery (right).
