Vertebral compression fractures occur more frequently than hip and ankle fractures combined. These fragility fractures frequently result in both acute and chronic pain, but more importantly are a source of increased morbidity and possibly mortality. Percutaneous veretebral augmentation offers a minimally invasive approach for the treatment of vertebral compression fractures. The history, technique, and results of vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are reviewed. Both methods allow for the introduction of bone cement into the fracture site with clinical results indicating substantial pain relief in approximately 90% of patients.
椎体压缩性骨折的发生率高于髋部骨折和踝部骨折的总和。这些脆性骨折常常导致急性和慢性疼痛，但更重要的是，它们会增加发病率，甚至可能导致死亡。经皮椎体强化术为治疗椎体压缩性骨折提供了一种微创方法。本文回顾了椎体成形术和后凸成形术的历史、技术及结果。两种方法都可将骨水泥注入骨折部位，临床结果表明约90%的患者疼痛得到显著缓解。
