Abstract

Vertebroplasty for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures is a minimally invasive procedure which could provide immediate pain relief by injecting PMMA into the vertebral body percutaneously. Kyphoplasty, which is designed to restore the vertebral height by inflating balloon, has recently been developed and the excellent early clinical results were reported. Calcium phosphate cement may have potential advantages over the PMMA for the use in vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty.
