Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty
Anesthesiology Clinics, 2007Vertebral compression fractures occur more frequently than hip and ankle fractures combined. These fragility fractures frequently result in both acute and chronic pain, but more importantly are a source of increased morbidity and possibly mortality. Percutaneous veretebral augmentation offers a minimally invasive approach for the treatment of vertebral

Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP), first described by Hervè Deramond in 1984, is an interventional procedure for the treatment of aggressive vertebral angioma. The aim of this study was to evaluate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) patterns in the affected vertebrae before and after vertebroplasty by determining changes in signal intensity and size and ...

Vertebral metastases are frequently asymptomatic; however, the occurrence of a pathological (micro-)fracture may be associated with unremitting pain, instability, and even kyphoscoliotic deformity and require prompt and effective treatment. In symptomatic patients, the beneficial effect of conservative therapies requires too much time.

Abstract Vertebral compression fractures are a common cause of severe back pain in osteoporotic geriatric patients. Vertebroplasty is a safe, effective, low-cost way to reduce pain and to improve mortality risk in these patients. This chapter discusses the indications, risks, contraindications, and literature behind this procedure.
