Implication

This systematic review compiles data on elbow metastases and guides surgical treatment decisions, indicating common primary tumors involved.

Key Points

  • Surgical approaches were adopted in 90% of cases, indicating a strong preference for active intervention on elbow metastases.
  • Renal cell carcinoma represented 28% of cases, with the distal humerus being the most affected site at 85%.
  • This systematic review involved 28 articles and 103 patients, mostly notable for reporting case studies in metastatic treatments.
  • Optimal treatment involves evaluating patients' functional status, suggesting that individual needs influence the choice of surgical or conservative approaches.
