Extraction of cement leakages and malpositioned spindles complicating percutaneous interventions: why, when and how?

ConclusionsSpindle malpositions and soft tissue cement leakages are not uncommon. We described 5 different percutaneous techniques that were safe and effective to extract spindles and paravertebral cement fragments.Key Points•Soft tissue cement leakages or spindle malpositions are a non-rare occurrence during cementoplasty, and may cause technical failure and/or chronic pain.•Most soft tissue cement fragments and malpositioned spindles can easily be extracted using simple percutaneous techniques.
