Fig. 5A. —Examples of polymethylmethacrylate leakage seen on
fluoroscopic spot radiographs. Patients experienced no complications related
to leakage of polymethylmethacrylate mixture. Frontal (A) and lateral
(B) radiographs of 84-year-old woman with osteoporatic compression
fracture (same patient as in Fig.
3A,
3B) with needles placed into
adjacent segments at T12 and L1 led to polymethylmethacrylate pasing through
intervening disk (A), anteriorly to form bridge (A and B)
between these two segments. This patient had preprocedure pain score
(lowest–highest, 0–10) of 8, postprocedural score of 0, and was
"better" at 6-month follow-up.
