Akio Hiwatashi, et al. - Previous studies have shown that cement leakage into an adjacent disk space is a risk factor for new fracture after vertebroplasty. The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of preoperative MRI for predicting such cement leakage...Conclusion: Cement leakage into an adjacent disk is more common when there is a cortical defect in the endplate and increased T2 signal in the adjacent disk and is less common if there is an intravertebral cleft American Journal of Roentgenology
