ABSTRACT
This review paper tracks the growth in the evidence supporting the use of percutaneous vertebroplasty for painful osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. The rapidly increasing numbers of publications in the literature between 1994 and 2004 are documented. Despite the relatively large volume of research on this topic, several technology appraisals undertaken by international health policy makers reported inadequate high-quality evidence. Policy makers' reimbursement decisions for vertebroplasty and their options when faced with imperfect evidence are discussed.
