Percutaneous vertebroplasty by injecting PMMA bone cement into the fractured vertebrae has been widely accepted in treatment of spinal compression fracture. |
Bedrest is recommended for the first 24 hours following vertebroplasty, though you can get up to use the bathroom. |
You diagnose the patient with a vertebral compression fracture at L3 and consider vertebroplasty due to her pain and impaired functional status. |
The pilot studies are evaluating the use of Cortoss with two different procedures, vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty. |
Individuals with VCF can undergo vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty to rectify the condition. |
A new vertebroplasty and cementoplasty line is now available at Laurane Medical. |
