Bone Cement Injection - Vertebroplasty - Percutaneous Vertebral Augmentation - Spinal Cement
Bone cement injection, also known as bone cement augmentation, is a medical procedure used to treat vertebral compression fractures (VCFs). VCFs occur when the vertebrae, the bones that make up the spine, collapse or fracture due to conditions such as osteoporosis, cancer, or trauma.
During the bone cement injection procedure, a special type of bone cement is injected into the fractured vertebra through a small incision in the skin. The cement hardens quickly, stabilizing the fractured vertebra and reducing pain.
The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and fluoroscopy, a type of X-ray imaging, to ensure precise placement of the cement. Patients may be able to go home the same day as the procedure and can usually resume normal activities within a few days.
Bone cement injection is considered a safe and effective treatment for VCFs, with a high success rate in relieving pain and restoring mobility. However, as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and complications, such as infection, cement leakage, or nerve damage, that should be discussed with a healthcare provider.
