Management of Spinal Bone Metastases With Radiofrequency Ablation, Vertebral Reinforcement and Transpedicular Fixation: A Retrospective Single-Center Case Series

Giuseppe Roberto Giammalva et al.

Summary: This study aims to demonstrate the efficacy and advantages of RFA plus vertebral reinforcement through PMMA vertebroplasty and fixation in patients affected by bone spinal metastases. The retrospective analysis shows that this combination therapy can significantly relieve pain, improve quality of life, and enhance clinical outcomes.

F. Cofano et al.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the impact of circumferential/anterior decompression with traditional posterior decompression on neurological function control and restoration in patients with motor impairment. Results showed that patients in the AD/CD group had a higher chance of neurological improvement and lower rates of worsening compared to the PD/PLD group.

Radiofrequency ablation and balloon kyphoplasty for palliation of painful spinal metastases

Ahmed Shawky Abdelgawaad et al.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of combined Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and Balloon Kyphoplasty (BKP) for the palliative treatment of painful neoplastic spinal lesions. Results indicate that this combined treatment is safe, effective, and reproducible, providing pain relief and stability in a minimally invasive manner without significant surgical trauma or complications.
