Abstract

Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) is a therapeutic procedure that consists of a percutanous injection of surgical cement into a vertebral osteoporotic compression fracture. We report the first 8 patients treated with PVP at our hospital. We conclude that PVP for compression fractures may be a minimally invasive procedure that provides pain relief immediately.
