Abstract
Metastatic disease involving the pelvis is common, often resulting in significant
pain and disability. Several percutaneous interventions for unstable pelvic metastatic
disease have been described, including osteoplasty, ablation, and screw fixation,
that when used alone or in combination can significantly reduce pain and disability
from metastatic bone disease. While it is possible to make a significant impact in
patient care with basic principles and techniques, certain advanced techniques can
extend the application of percutaneous interventions while minimizing morbidity.
