Safety and Efficacy of Percutaneous Vertebroplasty in Lateral Decubitus Position: A Retrospective Evaluation

Background and Purpose: During a percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) procedure, patients typically lie in the prone position. However, some elderly patients have difficulty in maintaining the prone position. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of PVP in a lateral decubitus position in patients experiencing difficulty in maintaining the prone position.
