This study was conducted on five patients (3 males, 2 females) who underwent vertebroplasty with calcium phosphate cement in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral fracture. The short term results of this surgery was very good for pain relief. Patients were able to walk after two post-operative days. We consider this to be a relatively less invasive surgical method for patients of advanced age.
