In this single‐centre retrospective review from New Zealand, mortality after intramedullary stabilization of metastatic disease of the femoral shaft in 82 patients was 15% and 77% at 30‐days and 1‐year, respectively. Serum albumin and physical performance status were predictors of improved survival; platelet count and platelet : lymphocyte ratio were predictors of poorer survival in patients with metastatic disease of the femur.
