Important note: Medicine is an ever-changing science undergoing continual development. Research and clinical experience are continually expanding our knowledge, in particular our knowledge of proper treatment and drug therapy. Insofar as this book mentions any dosage or application, readers may rest assured that the authors, editors, and publishers have made every effort to ensure that such references are in accordance with the state of knowledge at the time of production of the book.

Nevertheless, this does not involve, imply, or express any guarantee or responsibility on the part of the publishers in respect to any dosage instructions and forms of applications stated in the book. Every user is requested to examine carefully the manufacturers leaflets accompanying each drug and to check, if necessary in consultation with a physician or specialist, whether the dosage schedules mentioned therein or the contraindications stated by the manufacturers differ from the statements made in the present book. Such examination is particularly important with drugs that are either rarely used or have been newly released on the market. Every dosage schedule or every form of application used is entirely at the users own risk and responsibility. The authors and publishers request every user to report to the publishers any discrepancies or inaccuracies noticed. If errors in this work are found after publication, errata will be posted at www.thieme.com on the product description page.

Some of the product names, patents, and registered designs referred to in this book are in fact registered trademarks or proprietary names even though specific reference to this fact is not always made in the text. Therefore, the appearance of a name without designation as proprietary is not to be construed as a representation by the publisher that it is in the public domain.

Lateral thoracic fluoroscopic video of the thoracic spine showing a needle entering the posterior vertebral body of T9 and previous vertebral augmentation with PMMA at the T10 and T11 levels. The VCF at T9 is mobile and the superior end plate can be seen to move superoinferiorly with respiration.

Lateral thoracic fluoroscopic video of the thoracic spine taken after vertebral augmentation with PMMA at the T9 level shows two cannulas and bone fillers within the T9 vertebral body that is now stable. No movement of the superior end plate is seen with respiration.

Vertebral augmentation has been one of my favorite spine treatments since I performed my first case in 1994 and saw the incredibly good and immediate results. This was done under the aegis of Dr. John Mathis, who published the last comprehensive work on vertebral augmentation in 2006. Fourteen years later, we have seen significant advancements in techniques, literature, and augmentation devices and all of these topics have been covered in this book.
