Comparative study of Lutetium-177 and Phosphorus-32 in radioactive bone cement for the treatment of vertebral body metastasis.

Background: Vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure to stabilize compression fractures in the spine. This procedure involves injecting bone cement into the vertebrae that have been cracked or broken, typically due to osteoporosis. The cement hardens inside the bones, providing stability to the fractures and supporting the spine.
