  • Title: Percutaneous osteoplasty with use of a cement-filled catheter for a pathologic fracture of the humerus.
    Author: Kawai N, Sato M, Iwamoto T, Tanihata H, Minamiguti H, Nakata K.
    Journal: J Vasc Interv Radiol; 2007 Jun; 18(6):805-9. PubMed ID: 17538148.
    Abstract:
    Percutaneous osteoplasty has been used for pathologic fractures of long bones as an adjunct to orthopedic surgery. The present report describes a case of percutaneous osteoplasty with a cement-filled catheter and cement augmentation as the principal therapy to unite a painful pathologic fracture of the humerus. After the procedure, the patient experienced immediate pain relief and improved limb mobility. Percutaneous osteoplasty with this method holds promise as a treatment for pathologic fractures of the humerus that are not amenable to surgical repair.
