Pubic Bone Cement Osteoplasty for Pubic Insufficiency Fractures

The purpose of this report is to describe two cases of pubic bone insufficiency fractures refractory to conservative management treated with percutaneous cement osteoplasty. Both patients initially presented with severe pelvic pain and immobility and were treated conservatively without relief. The patients subsequently underwent percutaneous cement osteoplasty of the pubic bone and experienced complete pain relief immediately after the procedures. Both patients were followed up to 1 year, and were pain free throughout. Percutaneous cement osteoplasty may be an effective treatment for pubic bone insufficiency fractures.
