May prompt heightened monitoring for DIC after intramedullary stabilization in metastatic bone disease; leaves optimal prevention open.
Case Report (n=1)
DIC after intramedullary stabilization in patients with metastatic bone disease is a rare condition with high mortality requiring early recognition and blood product resuscitation.
You et al. (2020) conducted a case report in Metastatic prostate cancer (n=1). Prophylactic femoral intramedullary stabilization was evaluated on Development of acute disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Prophylactic femoral intramedullary stabilization in a patient with metastatic prostate cancer resulted in acute disseminated intravascular coagulation 1 hour postoperatively.
