[Surgical treatment options for bone metastases].

Bone metastases are the most common malignant bone tumors and are often the first clinical sign of a malignant disease. Although the occurrence of bone metastases in a malignant disease usually means a palliative situation for patients, adequate treatment of the metastases can greatly improve the patient's prognosis and ensure that the quality of life is maintained. In addition to oncological and radiotherapeutic treatment options, there are many surgical treatment options available. For this reason, metastasis surgery is the most common oncological operation in musculoskeletal surgery. The indications for metastasis surgery should always be assessed in an interdisciplinary setting, taking the patient's life expectancy, physical limitations and wishes into account. This review article summarizes the various surgical treatment options for bone metastases depending on the region of the body.
