Abstract:
Percutaneous vertebroplasty is widely used for the treatment of osteoporotic compression fractures. Although this procedure has a relatively safe history, potential complications have been described. In this case report, we present a patient who underwent percutaneous vertebroplasty and presented at the three week follow up visit with an asymptomatic polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) -filled needle track, that was evident on an X-ray of the lumbar spine.
