RESUMO -A vertebroplastia percutânea (VP) é procedimento minimamente invasivo que visa tratar a dor local decorrente de fratura do tipo compressão da coluna vertebral. A VP está indicada para o alívio da dor grave e incapacitante da coluna vertebral, em pacientes com fraturas vertebrais decorrentes de osteoporose, metástases (osteolíticas), mieloma e hemangioma agressivo. Analisamos os resultados da VP realizadas em 18 vértebras de 11 pacientes. Houve melhora acentuada da dor em 90,9% dos casos. O retorno às atividades habituais ocorreu em 77,8% até o primeiro mês. De acordo com os dados da literatura e em nossa casuística, a VP se mostrou opção terapêutica promissora nos casos selecionados.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: vertebroplastia percutânea, fratura vertebral osteoporótica, metástase vertebral.
