Abstract;Quick pain relief including pain in action is necessary for treatment of patients with bone metastasis of malignant tumor. Low-invasive percutaneous vertebroplasty can be applied to patients with impaired physical strength. The method is especially suited to removal of pain deriving from vertebral instability or compression fracture provoked by metastatic vertebral tumors or primary bone lesions such as myeloma or hemangioma. Examining its safety and determining the applicability of insurance is critical.
