Metastatic compression fractures--vertebroplasty for pain control
J Neurosci Nurs.
2003 Feb.
Abstract
Quality of life issues remain at the forefront for individuals with life-threatening disease, such as metastatic cancer. The pain of metastatic bone cancer can severely hamper an individual's quality of life. Percutaneous vertebroplasty offers a minimally invasive way to reinforce bony elements, provide substantial improvement in pain control, allow for mobilization, and overall improve quality of life in these patients.
