title: [Institutionalisation of medical innovations exemplified with percutaneous vertebroplasty].
abstract: Institutionalisation of medical innovations is often based on low scientific evidence. According to McKinlay a medical innovation follows a process of seven typical stages from a promising report to either implementation or denunciation. This process is exemplified with percutaneous vertebroplasty, an invasive procedure for painful vertebral fracture in patients with osteoporosis.
