Abstract EN
Osteoporotic-associated vertebral compression fractures are a major public health concern, dwarfing even hip fractures in incidence in the United States.
These fractures carry a significant morbidity and mortality burden and also represent a major growing source of consumption of scarce heath resources.
Percutaneous vertebroplasty remains a commonly used and safe technique for the symptomatic treatment of vertebral compression fractures, both osteoporotic- and neoplastic-induced.
By carefully selecting appropriate patients who are referred promptly, vertebroplasty can provide significant and durable pain relief over traditional conservative therapy.
Recent controversies surrounding the evidence for vertebroplasty in osteoporotic-associated vertebral compression fractures are reviewed.
A comprehensive step-by-step practical guide to performing vertebroplasty is then described.
A brief description of patient selection, workup, as well as complications is also provided.
