Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Percutaneous vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are still ideal ways to osteoporotic vertebral compressive fractures and vertebral metastases at present.
OBJECTIVE: To summarize the clinical application of percutaneous vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty, recurrent fractures, bone cement leakage and operation method choice.
METHODS: The relevant literatures on percutaneous vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty for treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compressive fractures and bone metastases were retrieved in Wanfang and PubMed (1987-01/2014-01) by computer. Retrieval language was limited to Chinese and English.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty have many advantages and have achieved excellent results in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures and bone metastases. With a wider range of applications, however, there are also some problems and controversies. Clinicians should pay more attention to the choice of surgical indications, prevention and therapy of perioperative and long-term complications as well as postoperative osteoporosis treatment.
