 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 11 Percutaneous balloon vertebroplasty (PKP) Clinical experience Of: Hechun Jun, Zhang Yi a new, Chen Haoliang, which Yi, Wu Wei Zhi, Zhuo Shixiong [Abstract] Objective To summarize the analysis of percutaneous balloon vertebroplasty treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures and clinical vertebral metastases. Methods of minimally invasive percutaneous approach by using balloon dilatation of vertebral Forming in the treatment of osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral compression fracture patients and 126 cases of 28 patients with vertebral metastases. using VAS scores and patient subjective satisfaction evaluation results. Results balloon vertebroplasty 154 patients before VAS score was 7.2 points, dropped to 3.0 after 24h, the last follow-up of 2.6 points. of which 95 patients with lower VAS scoresgt; = 4 points, 24 patientsgt; = 3 points, 23gt; = 2 points, 12 patients lt;1 min. Most patients feel pain during surgery significantly reduced the following day, subjective satisfaction rate of 91% excellent. Conclusion Percutaneous balloon vertebroplasty for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture and vertebral metastases the treatment of patients with safe and effective method is simple, can quickly relieve pain. [Keywords:] Balloon Vertebroplasty; vertebral compression fractures; vertebral metastases Vertebral body is cancellous bone, is the general site of the first osteoporosis, bone thinning, disruption and disappearance of bone porosity increases the performance of such phenomena as the most typical. Vertebral compression fractures in the elderly the most common fractures, more occurred in the thoracolumbar, accounting for about 90%, according to, for the non-violent fractures [1]. vertebral metastasis is the most common malignant vertebral bone tumors financial, and often severe disease were lower back pain and loss of mobility. Since 2003 3 months, we have 126 cases of osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral co
