Abstract
Vertebral augmentation methods are minimally invasive and aim to reduce spinal pain in patients with porotic fractures. This is achieved thanks to endovertebral injection of cement that elicits a metameric stabilization effect. Vertebroplasty (VP) and kyphoplasty (KP) are image-guided, percutaneous minimally invasive therapies employed to reduce spinal pain. Each method has a different approach. VP involves metameric injection of cement (polymethylmethacrylate, PMMA) through a needle. KP involves inflation of a small balloon in the vertebral body (VB) to create a void within cancellous bone before the delivery of cement.
