ABSTRACT
Appendicular metastasis from multiple myeloma (MM) frequently presents with a pathologic fracture. In this case report, a patient with a long history of MM and an associated pathologic fracture was treated using a specialized brace. This orthosis uses a deforming element to asymmetrically increase the soft tissue pressure around the pathologic fracture. The patient experienced rapid pain relief and bony healing without surgical intervention.
