Abstract
The humerus is the second long bone most affected by pathological fractures. According to Capanna and Campanacci criteria, surgical choice is based on bone metastasis location, on the patient's status and on the residual functional capacity. Metadiaphysis is an area of conflict in the choice between megaprosthesis implant and intramedullary nail osteosynthesis. This study compares these two surgical procedures in terms of reacquired functionality and local control of metastasis.
