About Vertebroplasty

Vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive procedure performed to treat vertebral compression fractures (VCFs), which commonly occur due to osteoporosis, trauma, or tumors. The procedure involves injecting bone cement into the fractured vertebra to stabilize the spine and alleviate pain. Vertebroplasty is an effective option for patients experiencing severe pain or spinal instability due to VCFs.

Our Approach to Vertebroplasty

1. Pre-procedure Evaluation:

   • Consultation with one of our spine specialists to discuss your symptoms and medical history.
   • Imaging tests such as X-rays, MRI, or CT scans to evaluate the extent of the vertebral compression fracture.

2. Procedure Day:

   • You will be positioned comfortably on the procedure table.
   • Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area where the needle will be inserted.
   • Using fluoroscopic guidance, a small needle is inserted into the fractured vertebra.
   • Bone cement is injected into the vertebra to stabilize it and relieve pain.

3. Post-procedure Care:

   • Most patients experience immediate pain relief following vertebroplasty.
   • You may be discharged home the same day or after a short observation period.
   • Our team will provide detailed instructions for post-procedure care and follow-up appointments.
