Percutaneous Vertebroplasty or Kyphoplasty

Radiologic Clinics of North America, 2010
Percutaneous vertebral augmentation techniques performed with vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty are safe and effective for the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, primary or secondary spine tumors, and selected traumatic fractures. This article compares the procedures and outlines their advantages and disadvantages. It concludes that

To describe the procedure of percutaneous vertebroplasty and to present our first clinical results of patients treated for benign or malignant painful vertebral body disease.We performed percutaneous vertebroplasty in 31 painful lesions of the spine. Liquid bone cement was injected into the affected vertebral body using fluoroscopic guidance through a ...

La Revue de medecine interne, 1996
Vertebroplasty is a new therapeutic method which by way of filling with acrylic cement in the vertebral body gives a stabilization of the vertebra and an antalgic effect in painful lesions involving the spine. Main indications consist of spine angiomas, metastases and osteoporotic fractures involving the vertebral body. In most patients, vertebroplasty

Percutaneous vertebroplasty: An update

Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI, 2005
Percutaneous vertebroplasty is an imaging-guided interventional technique in which surgical polymethylmethacrylate is injected via a large bore needle into a painful compressed vertebral body. This technique is safe and effective, and provides increased strength and pain relief in vertebrae weakened by bone diseases.

Percutaneous vertebroplasty in tumoral osteolysis

European Radiology, 2007
Percutaneous vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive, radiologically guided procedure in which bone cement is injected into structurally weakened or destructed vertebrae in order to achieve additional biomechanical stability. In addition to treating osteoporotic vertebral fractures, this technique gains popularity to relieve pain by stabilizing ...
