Sacroplasty for cancer-associated insufficiency fractures.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Tumor-associated sacral insufficiency fractures (SIF) present a significant clinical challenge. As survival increases for many malignancies, sacral fractures associated with metastases, sacral or extended pelvic radiation, and paraneoplastic osteoporosis are increasingly common and yet remain difficult to treat in the setting of the potentially significant morbidity of open sacral surgery. OBJECTIVE:To describe our prospective experience with sacroplasty for tumor-associated lesions, including the largest series to date of radiation-induced SIF. METHODS:Twenty-five patients with symptomatic SIF underwent 31 percutaneous fluoroscopy-guided sacroplasties with a median 5.8 mL of polymethyl methacrylate or a ceramic-resin composite under fluoroscopic guidance and with concurrent biopsy acquisition. Eighteen patients had fractures related to previous sacral or pelvic radiation; 4 had viable lytic lesions; and 2 had oncology-related osteoporosis. Postoperative pain reduction, procedural morbidity, and functional outcomes were recorded. RESULTS:Twenty of 25 patients (80%) had reduction in their visual analog pain score at a median follow-up of 6.5 months; no patients worsened. The mean visual analog scale score decreased from 8.8 to 4.7 postprocedurally (P < .001), with significant reductions regardless of the underlying pathology (P < .001 to P < .05). Six of 13 patients with pretreatment ambulatory impairment required fewer ambulatory aids and 3 were newly ambulatory. Extravertebral cement migration was noted in 18 procedures; however, no instance was clinically relevant. Six repeat or contralateral procedures were performed. No morbidity was encountered. CONCLUSION:Sacroplasty is a safe and effective option for the palliation of sacral fractures in the oncologic population.
