Abstract
We describe seven patients with multiple myeloma who were treated for acute vertebral body fractures with percutaneous vertebroplasty to a total of 14 vertebrae. Six of the seven patients had at least a 50% decrease in their pain scores at 24 h following vertebroplasty. There were no procedure-related complications. These encouraging results prompt us to suggest further large-scale evaluation of this procedure in myeloma patients.Entities:
