Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) is a minimally invasive procedure that allows for treating or preventing vertebral fractures resulting from trauma, osteoporosis, or oncological conditions. Metastatic spinal disease is a condition that necessitates mostly palliative care and pain management with minimal invasiveness. It could present with axial or localized back pain and may be associated with neurological deficit if compression of the spinal cord and/or the nerve roots is involved.

Objective: Evidence regarding percutaneous vertebroplasty (PV) for chronic painful osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) remains limited. To compare pain relief, quality of life, and disability between PV and active control (anesthetic infiltration) interventions for chronic OVCF.
Design: Randomized controlled trial.
Background: Vertebral augmentation including vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty may restore function without interfering with the therapeutic regimen of patients with multiple myeloma. We sought to evaluate the effects of adding multilevel vertebral augmentation to conventional therapy protocols for patients with multiple myeloma.
Materials And Methods: Forty-four patients recently diagnosed with multiple myeloma were randomly assigned to two groups.

Background Evidence regarding percutaneous vertebroplasty (PV) for chronic painful osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) remains limited. Purpose To compare pain relief, quality of life, and disability between PV and active control (anesthetic infiltration) interventions for chronic OVCF. Materials and Methods This prospective randomized clinical trial was conducted between May 2013 and June 2019 in participants with pain due to OVCF lasting longer than 3 months with bone marrow edema present at MRI.

Study Design: Operative video and supplemental manuscript.
Objective: To present a cement augmentation technique of the upper instrumented vertebra (UIV) and UIV+1 for prevention of proximal junctional fractures (PJFs) in multi-level thoracolumbar posterior instrumented fusions.
Summary Of Background Data: PJFs are unfortunately a common occurrence after multi-level thoracolumbar instrumented fusions to the pelvis for adult spinal deformity that can result in significant functional disability and often require costly revision operations.
