[Cement leakages in percutaneous vertebroplasty:analysis of postoperative computed tomography].
To evaluate the influencing factors of cement leakage in vertebroplasty for the treatment of osteoporosis vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) and vertebral metastases (VM). ⋯ As a common occurrence in vertebroplasty, cement extravasation is well-tolerated in most patients. It occurs more frequently in the patients with VM than those with OVCF, especially in cases of leakage into paravertebral vein. Cement leakage into disc or paravertebral soft tissue is predisposed in vertebrae with end plate, cortical defects or osteolysis.
