Vertebroplasty: Review of the Procedure in Relation to Patients with Fracture of Osteoporotic Origin by Iñaki Arrotegui in Journal of Surgical Medicine
Vertebroplasty was initially described by Gallibert and cols. in
1987 to treat symptomatic hemangiomas of the vertebral body [1].
Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are procedures that are used
to treat painful vertebral compression fractures in the spine, which
are a common consequence of osteoporosis. After vertebroplasty,
approximately 75% of patients recover lost mobility and become
more active Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are minimally invasive
procedures for the treatment of painful vertebral compression
fractures (FCV), fractures that involve the vertebral bodies that
make up the spine [2].
When a vertebral body fractures, the normal rectangular shape
of the bone is transformed into a compressed form, causing pain.
These compression fractures can include the collapse of one or
more vertebrae in the spine and are a common consequence of
osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a disease that results in the loss of
normal bone density, mass, and strength, leading to a condition in
which the bones become more porous and vulnerable to fracture
easily. The vertebra can also be weakened by cancer [3].
