Summary:Recent advances in percutaneous image-guided techniques have empowered interventional radiologists with diverse treatment options for the management of musculoskeletal lesions. Of note, there is growing utility for cementoplasty procedures, with indications ranging from stabilization of bone metastases to treatment of painful vertebral compression fractures. Likewise, cryoablation has emerged as a viable adjunct in the treatment of both primary and secondary bone and soft tissue neoplasms. These treatment options have been progressively incorporated into the multidisciplinary approach to holistic care of patients, alongside conventional radiotherapy, systemic therapy, surgery, and analgesia. This review article serves to outline the indications, technical considerations, latest developments, and evidence for the burgeoning role of cementoplasty and cryoablation in the musculoskeletal system, with an emphasis on pain palliation and tumour control.
