Percutaneous Vertebroplasty in Vertebral Compression Fractures of Benign or Malignant Origin

Abstract: Percutaneous vertebroplasty immediately relieves the pain of vertebral body fractures, improves patients' mobility, and lowers their consumption of analgesics. There can be further clinical improvement up to 6 months after the procedure, particularly in patients with fractures due to osteoporosis. As osteoporosis is the most common cause of vertebral body fractures, this patient group is important not just clinically, but economically as well.

“…Boger A. claimed that the injection of bone cement should be delayed as much as possible to prevent leakage and over ow [12] . The incidence rate of bone cement leakage has varied between 5 and 87% [13][14] , most of which was asymptomatic leakage and pulmonary cement embolism or spinal injury was rarely reported [15][16] .

“…In 1 study without a systematic approach for assessing spread, PMMA spread appearance was interpreted as different in VCFs because of osteoporosis compared with metastatic lesions (13). However, other studies that included patients with VCFs secondary to osteoporosis and osteolytic lesions did not compare appearance (4, 32-34). There have been no in vivo comparisons of PMMA spread within the vertebrae from different levels.…”

“…Kyphoplasty (KP) is also considered as efficient as VT for tumoral fractures with less risks of leakage 4.5.27.28 . KT provides height restoration and better vertebral filling, but there is no evidence that these two elements are concerned in the mechanisms of pain relief 7,24 .…”
