Estratto
La vertebroplastica percutanea (VP) è una procedura terapeutica di radiologia interventistica mini-invasiva per il trattamento delle fratture vertebrali dolorose, sviluppata in Francia nella metà degli anni ’80, ma che solo recentemente ha avuto diffusione in altri Paesi europei e negli Stati Uniti. Consiste nell’iniezione di un cemento a bassa viscosità nel soma vertebrale, attraverso un ago metallico, appositamente conformato, introdotto sotto guida TC o in fluoroscopia. Il cemento, denominato polimetilmetacrilato (PMMA), si diffonde all’interno del corpo vertebrale fratturato, prevenendo ulteriori cedimenti. Questo determina frequentemente una riduzione o scomparsa del dolore, in un tempo compreso tra le 12 e 72 ore dalla procedura, e consente di riacquistare mobilità a quei pazienti che hanno ridotto la propria attività fisica. La procedura richiede il ricovero di un giorno e quindi viene eseguita preferibilmente in regime di day surgery.
