    AbstractCementoplasty 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.Copyright 2010 American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons.
