Vertebroplasty in Porotic Fractures

  • 2124 Accesses

Abstract

Vertebral augmentation methods are minimally invasive and aim to reduce spinal pain in patients with porotic fractures. This is achieved thanks to endovertebral injection of cement that elicits a metameric stabilization effect. Vertebroplasty (VP) and kyphoplasty (KP) are image-guided, percutaneous minimally invasive therapies employed to reduce spinal pain. Each method has a different approach. VP involves metameric injection of cement (polymethylmethacrylate, PMMA) through a needle. KP involves inflation of a small balloon in the vertebral body (VB) to create a void within cancellous bone before the delivery of cement.
