Abstract
Percutaneous vertebroplasty is an emerging interventional technique in
which surgical PMMA is injected via a large bore needle into a vertebral
body under imaging guidance. This technique provides increased
strength and pain relief in vertebrae weakened by a variety of bone
diseases.
The current indication for vertebroplasty is intractable nonradicular
pain caused by compression fractures due to osteoporosis,
myeloma, metastases and aggressive vertebral haemangioma.
Contraindications include bleeding disorder, unstable fracture and lack
of definable vertebral collapse.
