Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty

The popularity of vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty has increased greatly over the past several years, largely due to their capacity to provide immediate pain relief in osteoporotic compression fractures and neoplastic disease of the spine. These procedures also require minimal incisions and can be performed without general anesthesia, which adds to their appeal. Here is the first book to cover everything that is currently known about vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty, including patient selection, operative techniques, complication avoidance, management, outcomes, and more! A multidisciplinary panel of spine surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, and interventional radiologists provide a unique perspective on each procedure.
