Routine radiotherapy and chemotherapy are the main treatment measures at present. Nevertheless, some patients still experience unbearable cancer pain that cannot be effectively relieved with powerful painkillers.Case Report: We report a patient with advanced renal carcinoma suffering from unbearable pain due to multiple bone metastases that involved several vertebrae (T11, L1, and L2) and the left talus. After percutaneous vertebroplasty in the vertebrae, the pain in the left talus became more prominent. We performed a percutaneous osteoplasty to manage the talar metastasis. Postoperatively, the pain level remarkably decreased, and the patient’s activity capacity significantly improved.Conclusion: Percutaneous osteoplasty is an alternative method for talar metastasis that can alleviate pain immediately and improve the quality of life in patients with advanced malignant tumors.Keywords: percutaneous osteoplasty, pain, talar metastasis, case report |
