Abstract
Osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture is one of the leading causes of disability and morbidity in elderly patients. Osteoporosis is the main risk factor, along with metastatic disease, multiple myeloma, trauma and hemangiomas. The consequences of osteoporotic compression fractures include pain and reduced mobility and can lead to progressive vertebral collapse. All this adversely affects the quality of life and even longevity. Patients with compression fractures are often treated with conservative therapy, but minimally invasive percutaneous augmentation therapy is often indicated. This therapy includes vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty. Methods involve image guidance (fluoroscopy or CT) for transpedicular injection of bone cement (PMMA - polymethylmethacrylate) into the fractured vertebra, in attempts to stabilize the fracture and reduce pain.
