Indications

This surgical procedure is recommended:
  • To repair vertebral compression fracture (spinal fractures) caused due to osteoporosis or any spinal injury
  • As palliative treatment for spinal tumor
  • To treat spinal injury

Pre-procedure

The doctor may recommend the following:
  • A thorough physical exam and routine tests
  • Fasting for 8 to 10 hours prior to the surgery
  • Stopping blood thinners, at least 10 days before the surgery
  • MRI to check the exact location of the fracture and plan the best treatment

During Procedure

The procedure is generally performed under local anesthesia, and might take upto 2 hours. During the procedure,
  • A biopsy needle is guided into the fractured vertebra by the help of fluoroscopic x-ray.
  • This is followed by injecting a cement-like substance into the space created due to the fractured bone.
  • The bone cement hardens in approximately 10 minutes. This congels the fragments of the fractured bone and provides stabilization to the collapsed bone.
  • The needle is removed and skin puncture is bandaged.

Post Procedure

After the procedure is complete, the patient is made to rest for 2 to 3 hours. Generally, the patient is discharged on the same day. After the discharge, the doctor will recommend the patient to
  • Medically manage osteoporosis so as to prevent spinal fracture
  • Avoid strenuous activities for 3 to 4 weeks
  • Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption
  • Take dietary supplements (eg. calcium, vitamin D)

Risk and Complications

Although vertebroplasty is a safe procedure, certain complications may occur. Commonly known complications are:
  • Bone cement leakage
  • Numbness
  • Paralysis
  • Headache
  • Infection
