Area of Science:

  • Interventional Radiology
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Percutaneous vertebroplasty, first performed in 1984, is now a standard treatment for painful vertebral compression fractures.
  • Vertebral fractures cause significant pain, functional limitations, and reduced quality of life.
  • Underlying causes include osteoporosis, trauma, neoplasms, and hemangioma.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the current state of percutaneous vertebroplasty.
  • To review the effectiveness and future directions of this spinal interventional radiology procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and analysis of clinical experience.
  • Focus on outcomes for medically refractory painful vertebral compression fractures.
