About Vertebroplasty

Vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive spine surgery procedure designed to stabilize painful vertebral compression fractures, most commonly caused by osteoporosis, trauma, or tumors. During the procedure, a spine surgeon uses image guidance (fluoroscopy) to inject a special medical-grade bone cement (polymethylmethacrylate) directly into the fractured vertebra. This cement hardens quickly, stabilizing the bone, restoring height, and providing immediate pain relief by preventing painful micromotion at the fracture site. It is a highly effective alternative to extensive open surgery, offering a faster recovery with a small incision, minimal blood loss, and is often performed under local anesthesia with sedation. Patients typically experience significant pain reduction and improved mobility shortly after the procedure.

Key Highlights

Minimally Invasive: Performed through a small needle puncture, avoiding large incisions and muscle damage.Rapid Pain Relief: Many patients experience significant pain reduction within 24-48 hours.Quick Procedure: Typically takes about one hour per vertebra treated.listrongShort Hospital Stay:/strong Often performed as an outpatient procedure or with an overnight stay./lilistrongStabilizes Fracture:/strong The cement reinforces the broken bone, preventing further collapse and deformity./lilistrongLocal Anesthesia Option:/strong Can be done with local anesthesia and sedation, reducing risks associated with general anesthesia./li/ul

Who is this surgery for?

Painful osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures not responding to conservative treatment (rest, bracing, pain medication) for 4-6 weeks.
Painful vertebral fractures caused by trauma.
Weakened vertebrae due to benign or malignant tumors (e.g., hemangioma, metastatic cancer).
Severe pain that limits mobility and daily activities, leading to a decline in overall health.
Vertebral compression causing spinal deformity (kyphosis).

How to prepare

Complete medical evaluation including blood tests, ECG, and imaging (X-ray, MRI, or CT scan) to confirm the fracture.
Disclosure of all medications, especially blood thinners (aspirin, warfarin, clopidogrel), which may need to be paused.
Fasting for 6-8 hours before the procedure if sedation or anesthesia is planned.
Arranging for someone to drive you home after the procedure.
Discussion of allergies, particularly to contrast dye or antibiotics.

Risks & possible complications

Cement Leakage: Bone cement can leak outside the vertebra, potentially causing nerve irritation or, rarely, pulmonary embolism.
Infection: Risk of infection at the needle site or within the spine (osteomyelitis/discitis).
Bleeding or Bruising: At the puncture site or within the spinal canal (hematoma).
Nerve Damage or Paralysis: Rare risk from needle placement or cement leakage.
Allergic Reaction: To the cement components or contrast material.
Adjacent Level Fracture: Increased stress on neighboring vertebrae may lead to new fractures.
Inadequate Pain Relief: The procedure may not fully relieve pain in some cases.

Recovery & hospital stay

Patients are monitored for 2-4 hours post-procedure for any immediate complications.
Mild soreness at the injection site is common for a few days.
Most patients can walk within a few hours and are discharged the same day or after one night.
Heavy lifting, bending, and twisting should be avoided for the first 4-6 weeks.
Pain medication may be prescribed for short-term management.
A follow-up appointment is scheduled within 1-2 weeks to assess healing and pain relief.
Underlying osteoporosis must be treated with medication and lifestyle changes to prevent future fractures.

Typical hospital stay: 0-1 days (often outpatient)
Expected recovery time: 1-2 weeks for initial recovery; 4-6 weeks for full activity resumption
