Rolle und Grenzen der Vertebro-/Kyphoplastie im Metastasenmanagement der Wirbelsäule = Role and limitations of vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty in the management of spinal metastases
The spine is the most common site for skeletal metastases. Tumor-induced osteolysis may lead to pain, dysfunction and ultimately vertebral fracture. In some patients conventional surgery is not suitable because of the palliative therapy approach. Just for this patient population it was shown that ce...

Nevertheless, cement augmentation of the vertebra has its limitations and should only be applied by appropriate indications. |
