  • To review current vertebral augmentation techniques for symptomatic spinal fractures due to malignant lesions.
  • To discuss potential future trends in treating this patient population.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of current state-of-the-art vertebral augmentation.
  • Summary of epidemiology and biomechanical aspects of malignant spinal lesions.
  • Presentation of treatment regimes, outcomes, and complications.

Main Results:

  • Vertebral augmentation offers symptomatic relief for spinal fractures from metastatic disease.
  • Current techniques have established efficacy but also associated complications.
  • Future trends include novel technologies for improved patient outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Vertebral augmentation is a key treatment modality for malignant spinal fractures.
  • Ongoing research and technological advancements are expected to refine treatment strategies.
  • A multidisciplinary approach is crucial for optimal management.
