1. Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty are reserved for patients with symptomatic vertebral body fractures without epidural disease or retropulsion of bone fragments into the spinal cord.
2. Although clinical experience is limited, ASTRO guidelines recommend that radiotherapy be used in conjunction with these procedures.
3. Kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty may be useful for the treatment of lytic osteoclastic spine metastases or in cases of spinal instability, where surgery is not feasible or indicated; they do not obviate the need for external beam RT.
