    Abstract Objective: To retrospectively evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of vertebroplasty using Spinejack implantation for the treatment and stabilization of painful vertebral compression fractures, in patients diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma (MM), to allow both an effective pain reduction and a global structural spine stabilization.
    Materials and methods: From July 2017 and May 2022 thirty-nine patients diagnosed MM, with forty-nine vertebral compression fractures underwent percutaneous Vertebroplasty using Spinejack Implants. We analyzed the feasibility and complications of the procedure, the decrease in pain using visual analogue scale (VAS) and Functional Mobility Scale (FMS).
    Results: The technical success rate was 100%. No procedure-related major complications or death occurred. In the 6-month follow-up, the mean VAS score decreased from 5.4 ± 1.0 to 0.2 ± 0.5 with a mean reduction of 96.3%. FMS decreased from 2.3 ± 0.5 vs. 1.2 ± 0.4 with a mean reduction of -47.8%. There were no major complications related to incorrect positioning of the Expandable Titanium SpineJack Implants. In five patients, a cement leak was observed with no associated clinical manifestations. The average length of hospital stay was 6-8 Hours6.6 ± 1.2 h. No new bone fractures or local disease recurrence occurred during a median contrast-enhanced CT follow-up of 6 months.
    Conclusions: Our results suggest that vertebroplasty, using Spinejack implantation for the treatment and stabilization of painful vertebral compression fractures, secondary to Multiple Myeloma is a safe and effective procedure with long - term pain relief and restoration of vertebral height.

    Abstract Purpose: Cryoablation (CrA) is a minimally invasive treatment that can be used in primary and metastatic liver cancer. The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of CrA in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and liver metastases. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the patients who had CrA for HCC or liver metastases between 2015 and 2020. Technical success, complete ablation, CrA-related complications, local tumor progression, local recurrences, and distant metastases were evaluated in the study population. In patients with HCC, the median survival was also estimated. Results: Sixty-four liver tumors in 49 patients were treated with CrA (50 metastases and 14 HCC). The mean tumor diameter was 2.15 cm. The mean follow-up was 19.8 months. Technical success was achieved in the whole study population. Complete tumor ablation was observed after one month in 92% of lesions treated with CrA (79% and 96% in the HCC Group and metastases Group, respectively, p < 0.001). Local tumor progression occurred in 12.5 of lesions, with no difference between the study groups (p = 0.105). Sixteen patients (33%) developed local recurrence (45% and 29% in the HCC Group and metastases Group, respectively, p = 0.477). Seven patients (14%) developed distant metastases in the follow-up period. Ten patients (20.8%) underwent redo CrA for local recurrence or incomplete tumor ablation. Minor complications were observed in 14% of patients. In patients with HCC, the median survival was 22 months. Conclusions: CrA can be safely used for treatment of HCC and liver metastases not amenable of surgical resection. Further studies are necessary to better define the role of CrA in the multidisciplinary treatment of liver malignancies.

    Abstract (1) Background: to retrospectively evaluate safety and efficacy of combined microwave ablation (MWA) and bilateral expandable titanium SpineJack (SJ) implants followed by vertebroplasty (VP) for the treatment of painful thoracolumbar pathological vertebral compression fracture. (2) Methods: from July 2017 to October 2022, twenty-eight patients (13 women and 15 men; mean age 68 ± 11 years) with a history of primary neoplasm and thirty-six painful vertebral metastases with vertebral compression fracture underwent combined MWA and bilateral expandable titanium SpineJack implants with vertebroplasty. We analyzed safety through complications rate, and efficacy through vertebral height restoration and pain decrease, evaluated using a visual analogue scale (VAS), and Functional Mobility Scale (FMS), and local tumor control. Contrast-enhanced CT scans were performed at 1, 3, and 6 months and a contrast-enhanced spine MRI at 6 months after the procedure. (3) Results: Technical success rate was 100%. No procedure-related major complications or death occurred. Vertebral height restoration was observed in 22 levels (58%), with a mean anterior height restoration of 2.6 mm ± 0.6 and a mean middle height restoration of 4.4 mm ± 0.6 (

    Abstract (1) Background: Cement distribution after radiofrequency ablation of spinal metastases can be unpredictable due to various tumor factors, and vertebral augmentation requires advanced devices to prevent cement leakage and achieve satisfactory filling. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a platform of steerable technologies with an articulating radiofrequency ablation (RFA) probe and targeted cavity creation before vertebral augmentation in the treatment of painful spinal metastases. (2) Methods: Sixteen patients (mean age, 67 years) underwent RFA in conjunction with vertebral augmentation after the creation of a targeted balloon cavity for metastatic spinal disease and were followed up to 6 months. Pain and functional mobility were assessed before treatment and postoperatively using the Visual Analogue Score (VAS) and Functional Mobility Scale (FMS). Complications, predictability of cement distribution, anatomical restoration, and local recurrence were collected. Technical success was defined as successful intraoperative ablation and predictable cement distribution after cavity creation without major complications. (3) Results: Sixteen patients with 21 lesions were treated for tumors involving the thoracolumbar spine. All treatments were technically successful and were followed by targeted cavity creation and vertebral augmentation. A statistically significant reduction in median VAS score was observed before treatment and 1 week after RFA treatment (
