Physiopathology of Spine Metastasis
G. Maccauro,Maria Silvia Spinelli,Sigismondo Mauro,Carlo Perisano,Calogero Graci,Michele Attilio Rosa +5 more

Intramedullary nailing for treatment of pathologic femoral fractures due to metastases
Andrea Piccioli,Barbara Rossi,Laura Scaramuzzo,Maria Silvia Spinelli,Zuozhang Yang,Giulio Maccauro +5 more
