Mini-open periacetabular cementoplasty for periacetabular bone metastasis: a report of two cases

Bone metastasis in the periacetabular region usually causes severe pain and functional disability. Some surgical procedures, such as the Harrington surgery and percutaneous cementoplasty, have been reported as treatment options for periacetabular bone metastases with limited efficacy. The former is highly invasive, while the latter may not allow the injection of a sufficient amount of cement. Here we report two surgical cases using a new modified surgical method (mini-open periacetabular cementoplasty: MO-PAC) consisting of tumor curettage and cementoplasty through a small incision.
