Adjusted rate of survival following prophylactic stabilization versus fracture fixation for femoral metastases. We adjusted the survival comparison between prophylactic stabilization and fixation after fracture has occurred for patient age, sex, comorbidity and type of cancer. We computed the adjusted survival curves using Cox regression. The difference in survival is statistically significant (p < 0.001).
