We describe the technique of percutaneous vertebroplasty using methyl methacrylate. We injected under the guidance of CT and fluoroscopy a group of 10 patients with back pain caused by a variety of vertebral lesions including severe osteoporosis (n = 4), hemangiomas (n = 5) and metastasis (n = 1). Over varying periods of follow-up (ranging from 4 to 17 months) none of the injected vertebral bodies demonstrated compression. All patients had relief of back pain; none had complications related to the technique. We emphasize that the efficacy of this technique in preventing vertebral collapse could not be evaluated in this small sample; a well-controlled study would be required to determine the proper indications and efficacy of this treatment.
