| Sumario: | Konstantinos Martikos, Tiziana Greggi, Francesco Vommaro, Luca Boriani, Antonio Scarale, Paola Zarantonello, Giuseppe Carbone, Stefano Stallone, Riccardo ZucchiniSpine Deformities Surgery Division, Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli, Bologna 40136, ItalyAbstract: Osteoporotic vertebral fractures represent a constantly increasing pathology that may compromise life quality and general health. Among various treatment options, percutaneous vertebroplasty has been used widely over the past 20 years. Although there is a vast amount of retrospective reports in the literature, high-level evidence has emerged only recently. In this paper, the authors provide a synopsis of the current literature on the efficacy and safety of percutaneous vertebroplasty while also presenting a step-by-step description of the surgical procedure, focusing on details that may help in optimizing quality and safety.Keywords: percutaneous vertebroplasty, vertebral compression fractures, osteoporosis, PMMA |
