$Abbildung 3a-f: Vertebral body compression fracture$ Vollbildansicht	Vertebral body compression fracture Abbildung 3a-f: 3: Case 1: Vertebral body compression fracture at the twelfth thoracic vertebra, age of fracture 7 days, Grade 1, (a) lateral X-ray, (b) sagittal PDw fs MRT, (c) lateral Xray after treatment, (d–f) unilateral augmentation (antero-posterior fluoroscopy): after an initial central cement depot, additional PMMA was applied and finally the anterior margin of the vertebra was well supported. Controlled penetration to the posterior margin. Result: symmetrical distribution of cement, mild anterior reconstruction of height and correction of kyphosis. Keywords: mineral research, Mineralstoffwechsel, vertebral body compression fracture


Vollbildansicht	Neoplastic osteolysis Abbildung 4a-b: Case 2: Neoplastic osteolysis – thymoma metastasis. (a) Pre-interventional CT with extensive involvement of the posterior margin. (b) The control CT confirms safe and central introduction of the cement. Keywords: mineral research, Mineralstoffwechsel, neoplastic osteolysis
