Percutaneous vertebroplasty has become widely accepted as a safe and effective minimally invasive procedure for the treatment of painful vertebral body compression fractures refractory to medical therapy. In this article, the authors review the indications and contraindications for vertebroplasty, principles of appropriate patient selection, useful techniques to achieve optimal outcomes, and the potential risks and complications of the procedure.

The rising incidence of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) has increased the demand for precise treatments like robot-assisted percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP), especially for conditions like Kümmell's disease that require high surgical accuracy. However, the traditional tracer fixation method has certain limitations. This study aimed to compare the safety and clinical efficacy of a modified tracer fixation technique with the traditional fixation method in robot-assisted percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) for Kümmell's disease.

Background: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematological malignancy characterized by bone marrow infiltration and osteolytic tumor formation. Despite advancements in the treatment of this disease, MM remains incurable and often leads to complications, such as multiple myeloma bone disease (MMBD). Surgical intervention is frequently necessary to manage symptoms associated with bone disease, including pain and fractures.

Background: Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) is a common surgical method for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCFs). The puncture method and location of the puncture needle can directly affect bone cement distribution in the vertebra. This retrospective study aimed to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of PVP using the cross-puncture and bilateral conventional puncture for the treatment of Genant grade 0-1 OVCFs.

Article Synopsis
- Osteoporosis leads to significant bone mass loss, contributing to acute and chronic pain, necessitating a deeper understanding of its biochemical and neurophysiological mechanisms.
- A systematic review of studies from 2018 to 2024 revealed key findings on the miR-92a-3p/PTEN/AKT pathway and the importance of muscle-bone interactions, emphasizing mechanotransduction for bone health.
- Effective pain management strategies identified include physical therapies, cognitive behavioral therapy, and pharmacological options, highlighting the potential for integrated treatment approaches to improve pain relief and functional outcomes for patients.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) in detecting and localizing the causative vertebra in cases of suspected fresh osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) in patients with contraindications to MRI.
Methods: A total of 21 patients with severe back pain with 31 suspected OVCF segments and contraindications to MRI were initially identified through radiographs and the back pain-inducing test (BPIT). The responsible vertebral bodies were determined using [Tc]MDP SPECT/CT before percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP).
