The authors demonstrate in their preliminary report the possibility of careful percutaneous application of spongy bone in the form of a bone paste. For collection of specimens and application of spongy bone the authors use instruments originally designed for transpedicular spongioplasty of fractured vertebrae of the thoracolumbar spine. The described procedure was used in four patients where the risk of complications, local or general, associated with classical spongioplasty was considerable. Healing occurred in all patients within a relatively short time.
