Abstract

Vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive procedure demonstrated to be safe and effective in the treatment of painful osteoporotic and malignancy related fractures when performed in the thoracolumbar spine. Multiple randomized and nonrandomized reports have demonstrated its effectiveness. Conversely, transoral vertebroplasty (TOV) to treat the second cervical vertebra (C2) has been described in only a few case reports.
