Objective To describe a novel technique, stentoplasty, as an alternative for the treatment of metastatic involvement of C2 and to assess its efficacy and safety. To systematically evaluate the pertinent literature regarding the clinical outcomes and complications of C2 vertebroplasty in patients with metastatic disease. Methods A systematic review of C2 vertebroplasty, in the English language medical literature was conducted for the needs of this study. Additionally, a cohort of five patients, presenting with cervical instability (SINS > 6) and/or severe pain (VAS > 6) from metastatic involvement of C2 and treated with stentoplasty in our department is presented. Outcomes evaluated include, pain control, stability, and complications.
