Bone loss leading to fragility fracture is a highly prevalent late effect in hematopoietic stem-cell transplant patients, who are affected 8–9 times more than the general population, particularly for vertebral compression fractures. Spinal interventions such as lumbar epidural steroid injections and vertebral augmentation may be helpful for providing pain relief and improved function, quality of life and return to ambulation. However, interventional procedures should be approached with caution in these patients. Our study found that there is a paucity of scientific studies addressing the risks of spinal injections in these patients and there is no absolute recommendation specific to spinal injections in patients receiving immunosuppressive agents or who have a history of solid organ or hematopoietic stem cell transplant. It is imperative to consider proper timing of the intervention to minimize risks while optimizing the benefits of the intervention combined with a well-defined post-transplant rehabilitation plan. Moreover, the decision to proceed with spinal interventions should be done case by case and with caution. Therefore, this article reports the case of a multidisciplinary treatment for a vertebral compression fracture in a patient with a hematopoietic stem-cell transplant, in particular discussing safety appropriateness in interventional pain management and rehabilitation considerations for this condition in this patient population.
