Percutaneous osteoplasty (POP) has been proven to relieve pain due to osteolytic metastases by injecting bone cement to stabilize the pathological fracture. Nevertheless, there have been few reports about POP of metastases in the pubis. This article presents a case involving the use of POP to manage a metastasis in the pubis. After POP the patient experienced significant pain relief and improvement in the quality of life.

Objective: To observe the clinical outcomes of anterior approach for the revision surgery following unsuccessful bone cement augmentation in osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.
Methods: A total of 10 patients who experienced unsuccessful bone cement augmentation underwent anterior revision surgery between January 2020 and December 2021. There were 2 males and 8 females.

The aim of this research was to conduct randomized trials assessing the extent of cement diffusion following robot-assisted percutaneous vertebroplasty (R-PVP) for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF). A total of 96 OVCF patients meeting the inclusion criteria and admitted between January 2023 and November 2023 were included in the study. Among them, 48 patients were assigned to the robotic-assisted PVP group (R-PVP group) and 48 patients were assigned to the traditional PVP group (PVP group).

Background: No studies have evaluated the impact of the cement distribution as classified on the basis of the fracture bone marrow edema area (FBMEA) in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on the efficacy of percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA) for acute osteoporotic vertebral fractures.
Methods: The clinical data of patients with acute, painful, single-level thoracolumbar osteoporotic fractures were retrospectively analyzed. The bone cement distribution on the postoperative radiograph was divided into 4 types according to the distribution of the FBMEA on the preoperative MRI.

Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) can be painful. Percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) aims at strengthening the vertebra and reducing pain, but efficacy can vary among patients. The purpose of this study was to establish a risk prediction model for pain relief following PKP in patients with OVCF.

Bone metastasis in the periacetabular region usually causes severe pain and functional disability. Some surgical procedures, such as the Harrington surgery and percutaneous cementoplasty, have been reported as treatment options for periacetabular bone metastases with limited efficacy. The former is highly invasive, while the latter may not allow the injection of a sufficient amount of cement.
