To examine the biomechanisms underlying adjacent fractures following vertebroplasty, an emerging procedure to stabilize fractured vertebrae. In this procedure, bone cement is injected percutaneously into the vertebral cancellous bone. Once hardened, the cement offers mechanical reinforcement to the weakened vertebra. Recent clinical and biomechanical reports suggest that this procedure may cause new fractures adjacent to the one augmented. The cause and extend is unclear yet. The focus here is on the biomechanical hypothesis resulting from the rigid cement augmentation.
