This is usually performed for vertical insufficiency fractures of the sacrum. When kyphoplasty or arcuplasty (with cavity creation) is performed in the sacrum, it is called a sacroplasty. A second injection may be performed on the opposite side of the vertebral body. Once the cavity is filled, the needle is withdrawn. The bone graft or cement is mixed with contrast medium so that the physician can observe filling of the cavity. Once the cavity has been created, it is then filled with morcellized bone graft material, polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement, or other bone graft substitute using a bone biopsy needle. Percutaneous augmentation of the vertebra is performed to treat a compression fracture caused by osteoporosis, multiple myeloma, primary or metastatic malignant lesions, benign lesions, or traumatic injury of the spine. Kyphoplasty requires cavity creation (augmentation) and injection of cement to fill the cavity and replace the vertebral body marrow.
