Area of Science:

Minimally invasive spinal procedures
Interventional radiology techniques

Background:

Percutaneous vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive technique for treating vertebral body lesions.
The procedure involves injecting bone cement into fractured vertebrae.
It is increasingly used for various spinal pathologies.

Observation:

The authors present their experience with percutaneous vertebroplasty.
Transpedicular biopsy can be performed before cement injection for diagnostic uncertainty.
Two representative cases are detailed, including osteoporotic fracture and cancer metastasis.

Findings:

Percutaneous vertebroplasty can be combined with transpedicular biopsy.
Biopsy provides diagnostic access prior to cement injection.
