Objective:
To review the progress of the pedicle screw augmentation technique by bone cement.
Methods:
Recent literature about the pedicle screw augmentation technique by bone cement was reviewed and analysed. The characters were summarized.
Results:
Pedicle augmentation technique includes the augmentation of ordinary solid pedicle screw and hollow pedicle screw. Both types could increase the fixation strength and gain satisfactory clinical results. Bone cement leakage had a certain incidence rate, but most of cases were asymptom.
Conclusion:
Bone cement augmentation of pedicle screw is an effective and safe internal fixation for poor bone condition.
