Abstract

Percutaneous vertebroplasty, injection of bone cement into the vertebral body, is a very effective interventional technique to improve the pain intractable to the conservative treatment and to achieve the structural augmentation for the vertebral body fractures. The procedure has been widely performed to manage osteoporotic and other vertebral fractures because the technique is known as simple and low-risk. This review is about the several aspects of the percutaneous vertebroplasty for the sake of safe and effective procedure.

Key Words: Percutaneous vertebroplasty; Osteoporosis; Vertebral body fracture; Interventional procedure
