Vertebroplasty
Introduction
Vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive, day care procedure used to treat vertebral compression fractures caused by painful osteoporosis and metastatic tumors. During vertebroplasty, A local anesthetic is used to numb the affected area of the patient’s spine, where the surgeon inserts one or two needles guidance through a small incision in the patient’s skin. Under under C- arm, the surgeon inserts the needles into the fractured vertebra through pedicals and slowly injects a small amount of bone cement into the vertebra at fracture site. The bone cement hardens quickly. The patient is kept for observation for a few hours following the procedure. In rare cases, the patient is kept overnight for observation.
Vertebroplasty can prevent further collapse of the vertebra, height loss and spine curvature.
