Abstract:
Percutaneous pediculoplasty is a vertebroplasty-complementary technique that can be carried out with one needle for each single approach. This report describes five cases of osteoporotic vertebral and pedicular compression fractures that were treated with percutaneous vertebroplasty and bilateral pediculoplasty with use of polymethylmethacrylate and high-quality fluoroscopic guidance. All patients reported complete pain relief. This is a safe, fast, and effective treatment for osteoporotic compression fractures with pedicle compromise.
