The lifetime risk of a vertebral body compression fracture is 16% for women and 5% for men. Vertebroplastyn involves the injection of artificial bone cement and an opacifier into the inter-trabecular marrow space of the fractured vertebra.
This article describes vertebroplasty as a treatment of vertebral compression fractures.
Treatment for vertebral compression fractures regardless of aetiology has been largely conservative and directed toward pain control. Vertebroplasty has gained popularity since 1987 for treatment of vertebral compression fractures. Vertebroplasty is a safe, effective, and cost effective procedure when performed in an appropriate technical environment by adequately trained interventional radiologists.

本文描述椎体成形术作为椎体压缩性骨折的一种治疗方法。
无论病因如何，椎体压缩性骨折的治疗在很大程度上一直是保守的，主要针对疼痛控制。自1987年以来，椎体成形术在治疗椎体压缩性骨折方面越来越受欢迎。当由训练有素的介入放射科医生在适当的技术环境中进行时，椎体成形术是一种安全、有效且具有成本效益的手术。
