Percutaneous vertebroplasty ( @entity12468 ) is a minimally invasive procedure to treat back @entity158 ( @entity3814 ). This study aims to review our techniques and outcomes in @entity1 with @entity3814 . Outcomes of all @entity1 who underwent @entity12468 at our institution from 1998 to 2014 were retrospectively collected from medical records and follow-up telephone interviews. 1174 @entity12468 procedures for @entity3814 in 673 @entity1 were identified to have complete follow-up data. @entity1 with inadequate data were excluded from the analysis. Procedural aspects such as unipedicular or bipedicular access, vertebral region treated, amount of cement injected into vertebrae, number of levels treated at a single session, refracture rates and location, presence of a @entity39 , and @entity158 outcomes were examined. Excellent rates of improvement of back @entity158 for both single level and multilevel @entity12468 were achieved in 92% of @entity1 . Unipedicular or bipedicular approach, cement volume, vertebral region treated, cement extravasation, and presence of a @entity39 did not affect @entity158 outcomes or refracture rates. @entity174 that did develop after @entity12468 were often adjacent and occurred earlier than distant level fractures. Lumbar vertebrae required more cement than thoracic vertebrae. @entity12468 provides excellent rates of @entity158 relief in both single and multilevel procedures. The procedural aspects evaluated did not affect @entity158 outcome or refracture rates. Adjacent refractures tended to occur sooner than distant ones.
