Vertebral augmentation, including vertebroplasty, uses bone cement to treat painful vertebral compression fractures and other spinal pathologies. This minimally invasive procedure is safe and effective for relieving back pain.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Biomaterials Science

Background:

  • Vertebroplasty, developed in 1984, initially treated vertebral hemangiomas.
  • Technique adaptations and material advancements have expanded vertebral augmentation indications.
  • Effective for pain from osteoporotic fractures, metastasis, and myeloma.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the indications, risks, and techniques of vertebral augmentation.
  • To highlight the evolution and success of vertebral augmentation procedures.
  • To provide an overview of image-guided bone cement injection for spinal conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Percutaneous administration of acrylic bone cement into vertebral bodies.
  • Image-guided needle placement and cement injection under intermittent imaging.
