Cement bridging phenomenon in percutaneous vertebroplasty for adjacent vertebral compression fracture

Abstract In some cases of vertebroplasty for adjacent fractures, we observed a cement bridging phenomenon, in which the injected cement flowed from the newly fractured vertebra to the previously cement-augmented vertebra through the space between the abutting anterior longitudinal ligament and the v...
