Abstract
Cementoplasty is a well-established intervention for symptomatic control of localized
skeletal metastases; however, its use has never been reported for metastases in the
foot. We report on a patient with symptomatic skeletal metastases throughout the foot
in which cementoplasty, in conjunction with internal fixation, was used to alleviate
pain and enable comfortable ambulation.
