Vertebroplasty
Vertebroplasty describes a procedure used to stabilize and augment a vertebral body that has fractured due to osteoporosis. These patients are usually older and suffer from significant pain. Some physicians prescribe bed rest, however this is problematic and may lead to additional problems in older patients. Vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that involves the injection of a special bone stabilizing material into the fractured vertebral body. There are several advantages to this procedure, including: immediate pain relief, stabilization of the vertebral body, and instant mobilization of the patient, a key component in the treatment success in older patients.
Our surgeons will advise you if you are the right patient for this procedure. Treatment in Poland rates this as a specialist procedure.
