Reinforced cementoplasty with spindles is a recently introduced technique that is mainly used for pathological fractures or for bone metastases at risk of fracture in locations with shear stresses. The technique is less challenging to perform than percutaneous screw insertion and does not require equipment sterilization. No general anesthetic is required. A small trocar is all that is needed, and sutures are often unnecessary. Reinforced cementoplasty can therefore be considered as a technical evolution of cementoplasty with the simple addition of material within the trocar. This technique deserves more awareness so that it can be included in interventional radiologists' range of procedures.
