Vertebroplast

Vertebroplast

Vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) caused by conditions like osteoporosis or spinal tumors. During this procedure, a special bone cement (often polymethylmethacrylate or PMMA) is injected into the fractured vertebra. The process begins with the patient lying face down on an operating table under local anesthesia. Using fluoroscopy or X-ray guidance, the surgeon inserts a hollow needle into the fractured vertebra through a small incision in the skin. Once the needle is correctly positioned within the damaged area, the bone cement is injected, filling the space and stabilizing the vertebra. The injected cement hardens quickly, typically within minutes, providing immediate structural support to the fractured bone. This stabilization helps to alleviate pain, prevent further collapse of the vertebra, and restore vertebral height. Vertebroplasty is known for its effectiveness in reducing pain and improving mobility for individuals suffering from vertebral compression fractures. It is a relatively quick procedure, often performed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to resume normal activities with reduced discomfort shortly after treatment. However, while generally safe, there are some risks associated with vertebroplasty, such as infection, nerve damage, or leakage of the cement into surrounding tissues. Patients should consult with their healthcare provider to assess individual risks and benefits before undergoing this procedure. Overall, vertebroplasty stands as an important option in managing pain and stabilizing vertebral fractures, contributing significantly to the quality of life for those affected.
