COMPARATIVE ASSESSMENT OF SURGICAL TREATMENT OUTCOMES FOR OSTEOPOROTIC COMPRESSION FRACTURES OF THE THORACOLUMBAR SPINE USING BALLOON KYPHOPLASTY AND PERCUTANEOUS VERTEBROPLASTY
Abstract
Percutaneous vertebroplasty consists of the transcutaneous injection of bone cement (usually polymethylmethacrylate, PMMA) into the body of the damaged vertebra under fluoroscopic control. A needle is introduced through a posterior approach into the neural arch and vertebral pedicle. The cement fills cracks and voids, reinforcing the bone and restoring its strength.
