Abstract

Vertebroplasty procedure which involves percutaneous injection of bone cement into a collapsed vertebra using fluoroscopic guidance, has been introduced not only for treatment of osteoporotic patients, who have prolonged long lasting pain following vertebral fracture, but also for osteolytic vertebral compression fractures, to restore its loadbearing capacity and stiffness. Our result suggest that vertebroplasty is associated with pain relief in almost 100% of cases. Proper patient selection and a good technique should minimize complications.
