As an extension of percutaneous vertebroplasty(PVP), percutaneous osteoplasty(POP) refers broadly to percutaneous bone cement injected into various parts of the body and narrowly to cement injected into extraspinal bone lesions. POP mainly includes such surgeries as percutaneous sacroplasty, percutaneous acetabuloplasty, percutaneous femoral osteoplasty, and percutaneous iliac osteoplasty(Figure 1). Currently, POP is a positive and an effective treatment for extraspinal bone lesions in that it can rapidly relieve pain, effectively prevent pathological fractures, and partially inactivate tumors, with few complications. The aim of this review is to detail the POP techniques and report their safety and efficacy in the treatment of extraspinal metastases.
