CT-guided cement sacroplasty (CSP) as pain therapy in non-dislocated insufficiency fractures.
In elderly patients with reduced bone quality, insufficiency fractures of the sacrum are relatively common and are typically associated with severe disabling pain. The objective of the present study was to examine the feasibility of cement augmentation by CSP, to determine post-interventional leakages and other complications, and to present the outcome of pain over the course of 18 months. ⋯ As a minimally invasive procedure, CSP is an effective treatment method for rapid, significant, and sustained pain reduction.
