Vascular extravasation of injectable bioresorbable bone cement during aspiration and injection of calcaneal bone cyst

Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2020 Aug 27;34(1):189-190. doi: 10.1080/08998280.2020.1801105.ABSTRACTA 27-year-old woman underwent aspiration and bioresorbable cement injection of a simple bone cyst. During injection, cement was seen on fluoroscopy extravasating into the posterior vein of the ankle. The procedure was immediately stopped, and the patient remained hemodynamically stable. Vascular leakage of bone cement during injection of a bone cyst is rare but can have catastrophic consequences.PMID:33456197 | PMC:PMC7785199 | DOI:10.1080/08998280.2020.1801105
