A Vertebroplasty is a procedure that stabilizes a fractured vertebral body. It involves the injection of synthetic material into the vertebral body, in order to immobilize the bone fragments and reduce pain. Vertebroplasty does not restore the height of the compressed vertebra. The procedure is mildly painful for most people, but they usually experience immediate overall pain reduction afterwards.
INDICATIONS
Vertebroplasties are used when severe pain and immobility caused by a fractured vertebral body lasts more than six weeks, although they can be done earlier if uncontrollable. Lumbar Spine Surgery Percutaneous Vertebroplasty Vertebral Fracture orthopeadic illustrations.
