Percutaneous vertebroplasty stabilizes vertebral fractures using bone cement, offering pain relief and structural support. Nurses play a vital role in patient care and outcome analysis for this minimally invasive procedure.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Orthopedics
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Vertebral compression fractures are often caused by osteoporosis, tumors, or cysts.
  • Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PV) is a minimally invasive procedure to stabilize these fractures.
  • Advances in radiology and guidelines have increased interest in PV.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the role of nurses in percutaneous vertebroplasty.
  • To emphasize the benefits and procedural aspects of PV.
  • To call for further research involving nurses in PV patient care.

Main Methods:

  • Injection of acrylic bone cement into the vertebral body.
  • Minimally invasive surgical technique.
  • Patient selection, pre-, intra-, and post-procedure care by nurses.

Main Results:

  • Pain relief and structural reinforcement of vertebral fractures.
  • Stabilization of fractures caused by osteoporosis, hemangioma, myeloma, metastases, and bone cysts.
  • Growing interest and established guidelines for the procedure.

Conclusions:

  • Nurses are essential in patient selection and care throughout the PV procedure.
  • Nurses should participate in auditing PV outcomes.
  • Further research is needed, with active nursing involvement, to explore PV's effects.
