Vertebroplasty in Multiple Myeloma: Outcomes in a Large Patient Series

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Despite the literature supporting the efficacy of vertebroplasty for treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, few reports exist documenting its use in the treatment of compression fractures in multiple myeloma patients. Accordingly, we sought to characterize the imaging characteristics, clinical course, and outcomes in myeloma patients treated with vertebroplasty.
