Minimally invasive Vertebroplasty in
India
Approximately 85 fractures in old age are caused
by osteoporosis (a condition in which total mass
of the bones decrease) and remaining 15 are
caused by bone weakness caused by other
conditions or spread of cancer to the bones. Out
of these one third patients may present with
significant pain in spite of non-operative
measures like bed rest, hospitalization, pain
killer medications or bracing. Vertebroplasty is
a procedure in which a special type of synthetic
cement material is injected inside the broken
spine bone, giving excellent results in pain
relief with very low incidence of side effects,
can be performed in the out patient setting under
local anesthesia and light sedation, there by
obviating the need of expensive and extensive
surgical procedures which usually have high
incidence of morbidities and mortalities in such
group of patients.

Procedure overview
  • Vertebroplasty is a procedure in which a
    special medical-grade cement mixture is injected
    into a fractured vertebra. The vertebrae are the
    small bones that make up the spine. When they
    become fractured, you will often experience pain
    and a loss of mobility. When vertebroplasty is
    successful, the cement mixture injection
    stabilizes the vertebra and allows you to return
    to normal activity after a recovery period.
    Reasons for the procedure The main reason you
    would need a vertebroplasty is treat a fractured
    vertebra in your spine thats causing pain and
    reduced function. Your doctor may try other, more
    conservative methods of treating the pain first
    bed rest, pain relievers, muscle relaxants, back
    braces, or physical therapy. These are reasons
    that your doctor may consider a vertebroplasty
    for your fractured vertebra
  • Traditional methods of treating your fractured
    vertebra or back pain fail.
  • You suffer from severe or prolonged pain or
    immobility.

After the procedure
you will be probably lie flat on your back for
one hour while the cement hardens. After the
procedure Once the procedure is complete and the
cement has hardened, you will likely remain in an
observation room for an additional one to two
hours. This will allow the doctor to make sure
that the procedure was successful. You will then
likely be able to stand and walk with little or
no pain. You may experience pain relief almost
immediately after the procedure, but for some
people it takes up to 72 hours. Your doctor may
provide you with over-the-counter pain relievers
to help ease the discomfort. Before you are
discharged from the hospital, the doctor will
probably perform an assessment of your pain and
check for any possible complications. You can
also expect a follow-up office visit in the
coming weeks to make sure that the procedure has
continued to be successful for you.

Advantages of Vertebroplasty
Decreased pain. A compression fracture causes
sharp and debilitating pain. Those suffering from
these fractures are often prescribed bed rest and
pain medication. Vertebroplasty reduces and in
some cases eliminates the need for pain
medication, and it also restores mobility in many
patients. Increased functional abilities. The
pain from a compression fracture is usually sharp
and debilitating, leaving people unable to
perform everyday tasks. Vertebroplasty stabilizes
the fracture, decreases pain dramatically and
allows a return to the previous level of
activity. Prevention of further vertebral
collapse. The cement fills spaces in bones made
porous by osteoporosis, strengthening the bone so
that it is less likely to fracture again
