METHODS
A retrospective review of the patient’s charts, imaging, and electronic
medical records was performed following approval from the Institutional
Review Board to identify pediatric patients that underwent
vertebroplasty between January 2003 and April 2020. Clinical success and
long-term complications were assessed by retrospective chart review of
hospital records. Baseline characteristics of the patients and their
tumors, use of pain medications, overall clinical status, and
performance status were collected before and after the procedures, as
well as any adverse event related to the vertebroplasty procedure.
