Introduction: Vertebral plasty is typically performed using calcium phosphate cement in cases where there is persistent pain as a result of non-union osteoporotic vertebral fracture. After surgery, progressive fracturing of the adjacent vertebral body and the advancement of kyphosis due to the correction loss can occur.
Methods: We present a method of encapsulating calcium phosphate paste in the vertebral body without employing cancellous bone curettage and the accompanying surgical results.
Results: There was no difference in terms of pain management or correction loss after vertebroplasty between our proposed method and that involving cancellous bone curettage. No cement leakage into the spinal canal or pulmonary embolism was observed.
Conclusion: Similar results were obtained using the method presented in this study compared with cancellous bone curettage techniques.
