    The Effectiveness of Percutaneous Vertebroplasty is Determined by the Patient-Specific Bone Condition and the Treatment Strategy 
    Widmer Soyka, René P.; Benedikt Helgason; Hazrati Marangalou, Javad; van den Bergh, Joop P.; Rietbergen, Bert van; Ferguson, Stephen J. (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2016-04-21)
    Vertebral fragility fractures are often treated by injecting bone cement into the collapsed vertebral bodies (vertebroplasty). The mechanisms by which vertebroplasty induces pain relief are not completely understood yet and recent debates cast doubt ...
