Abstract
Vertebroplasty is a radiological intervention for the augmentation of bone lesions with bone cement. Main indications are the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral body fractures, however also the treatment of tumorous lesions becomes more and more established. The indication for vertebroplasty of tumorous lesions is therapy-refractory pain in symptomatic hemangiomas, metastases and myelomas. By minimal invasive therapy stabilization of vertebral bodies and pain reduction may be achieved.
