ABSTRACT
Approximately 90% of patients with multiple myeloma experience significant pain from osseous involvement during their lifetime. Untreated osseous involvement results in vertebral compression fractures, leading to negative consequences for quality of life. Vertebral augmentation procedures, including percutaneous vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty, offer better and faster pain control and likely lower morbidity compared with non-operative interventions. Our review provides an up-to-date summary of the indications, contraindications, timing, outcomes, and potential complications of vertebral augmentation procedures to guide practicing oncologists in effectively managing bone disease in patients with multiple myeloma.
