Abstract

The results of surgical treatment by vertebroplasty are analyzed in 28 patients with different spinal diseases. A procedure for percutaneous vertebroplasty with polymethyl methacarylate is presented. This miniinvasive method has been shown to be highly effective in treating vertebral hemangiomas, osteoporotic compression fractures, and vertebral metastases and in strengthening the anterior vertebral column as compared with anterior spondylosis in open surgical operations.
