Percutaneous injection of acrylic glue is proposed in cases of :
  • Symptomatic vertebral angioma.
  • Painful vertebral body tumors (particularly metastasis and myeloma). The best indications are painful vertebral body tumors, particularly when there is a risk of compression fracture.
  • Severe painful osteoporosis with loss of height and/or with compression fractures of the vertebral body.
   Contraindication

  • Hemorrhagic diathesis
  • Infection
  • Lesions with epidural extension require careful injection to prevent epidural overflow and spinal cord compression by the cement.
