Figs. 2-A, 2-B, and 2-C: A patient who had a metastatic lesion involving the right acetabulum.Fig. 2-A: Pelvic radiograph demonstrating the metastatic lesion with a pathological fracture of the

medial acetabular wall (large arrow).



Computerized tomography scan showing involvement of the posterior and anterior columns by the metastatic lesion.



Radiograph showing the acetabular reconstruction with 170-millimeter cannulated screws to reinforce the columns.



Kaplan-Meier survivorship curves, including 95 percent confidence intervals, for patients who had metastatic disease, with and without visceral metastases.



Kaplan-Meier survivorship curves, including 95 percent confidence intervals, for patients with metastatic breast carcinoma and for patients with any other type of metastatic carcinoma.



Figs. 5-A, 5-B, and 5-C: A patient who had prostate cancer that metastasized to involve the anterior column, medial wall, and superior dome of the right acetabulum.Fig. 5-A: Preoperative

radiograph demonstrating the large lytic lesion involving the acetabul...



Fig. 5-B: Postoperative radiograph illustrating the reconstruction with antegrade pin reinforcement of the acetabular dome and a cemented protrusio cup.



Follow-up radiograph showing local progression of the disease, between eight and nine months postoperatively, causing progression of the pelvic osteolysis.
