Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive procedure.
  • It is used to treat vertebral compression fractures.
  • Fractures can result from osteoporosis, benign tumors, or metastatic tumors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the indications and contraindications for vertebroplasty.
  • To outline the surgical approaches and potential complications.

Main Methods:

  • Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) is injected into the vertebral body.
  • Approaches include transpedicular and extrapedicular.
  • Patient selection is based on fracture etiology and contraindications.

Main Results:

  • Vertebroplasty offers pain relief and bone strengthening.
  • Contraindications include lack of consent, coagulopathy, infection, radiculopathy, and extensive vertebral destruction.
  • Potential complications include fractures, pneumothorax, and cement leakage.

Conclusions:

  • Vertebroplasty is an effective treatment for specific vertebral compression fractures.
  • Careful patient selection and procedural technique are crucial to minimize risks.
