Clinical and functional outcomes of patients with a pathologic fracture in high‐grade osteosarcoma

There have been variable reports of outcomes of patients with osteosarcoma and pathologic fractures. The purpose of this study was to document outcomes after management of this clinical entity at a single large oncology center.
