Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty
British Menopause Society Journal, 2005Vertebral compression fractures are common in elderly populations and in particular in postmenopausal women as a consequence of osteoporosis. Percutaneous vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are minimally invasive procedures that are increasingly used to treat persistent or severe acute pain from these fractures.

Kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty
Current Pain and Headache Reports, 2008Percutaneous vertebroplasty is the injection of a vertebral compression fracture (VCF) with bone cement, generally polymethylmethacrylate. Percutaneous kyphoplasty is the placement of balloons into the vertebral body with an inflation/deflation sequence to create a cavity before the cement injection.

Vertebroplasty, the augmentation of vertebral compression fractures by image-controlled intracorporeal injection of polymethylmethacrylate cement, has shown a steady increase in use. Its chief indication is to palliate pain after a failure of noninvasive therapies. Other benefits include preventing further compression of the treated vertebra and fusing

Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty
Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 2006Percutaneous vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty provide minimally invasive options for the management of osteoporotic and osteolytic vertebral compression fractures. These techniques provide substantial pain relief and support without requiring long periods of recumbency, and have an acceptable complication rate.

Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty
Anesthesiology Clinics, 2007Vertebral compression fractures occur more frequently than hip and ankle fractures combined. These fragility fractures frequently result in both acute and chronic pain, but more importantly are a source of increased morbidity and possibly mortality. Percutaneous veretebral augmentation offers a minimally invasive approach for the treatment of vertebral

Nursing Standard, 2004
Percutaneous vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to stabilise vertebral compression fractures caused by osteoporosis, haemangioma, myeloma, metastases and bone cysts. Acrylic bone cement is injected into the vertebral body to relieve pain and structurally reinforce the fracture.

Medical Oncology, 2003
Vertebral metastases are frequently asymptomatic; however, the occurrence of a pathological (micro-)fracture may be associated with unremitting pain, instability, and even kyphoscoliotic deformity and require prompt and effective treatment. In symptomatic patients, the beneficial effect of conservative therapies requires too much time.

Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty.
Clinical cases in mineral and bone metabolism : the official journal of the Italian Society of Osteoporosis, Mineral Metabolism, and Skeletal Diseases, 2009Vertebral fractures are a major health care problem in Western countries. Pain and deformity are the major problems related to these fractures, with an enormous impact on the quality of life. Surgery is indicated in patients with concurrent spinal instability or neurologic deficit.

Abstract Vertebral compression fractures are a common cause of severe back pain in osteoporotic geriatric patients. Vertebroplasty is a safe, effective, low-cost way to reduce pain and to improve mortality risk in these patients. This chapter discusses the indications, risks, contraindications, and literature behind this procedure.
