Abstract
This report describes the management of a 39-year-old man with intractable metastatic femoral bone pain managed by femoral nerve blockade, first via a percutaneously tunneled catheter and later via an implanted Port-A-Cath system. Analgesia was maintained by repeated injections of bupivacaine. The multitherapeutic approach utilizing surgical fixation, radiotherapy, opioid analgesics and adjuvants, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, physiotherapy, and neural blockade to the management is emphasized.
