Vertebral Compression Fracture and Vertebroplasty PTP

There are many diseases of the spine, and vertebral compression fracture is another condition that every should pay attention to, since this disease is caused by physiological abnormalities that are very common in elderly people.
&nbsp;
<h2>Vertebral Compression Fracture</h2>
Vertebral compression fracture can happen due to age-related degeneration of the spinal discs that gradually decrease the height of the spinal discs. After a significant decrease in the height of the spinal discs, increasing pressure is put on the nerves and disc herniation occurs. Vertebral compression fracture can be effectively treated by using a special surgical technique that involves the insertion of a bracing device to stand in place of the vertebral discs to widen the space occupied by them. This is a permanent surgical correction to compression that increases the height of the spinal discs with the help of devices that support the spinal discs.
&nbsp;
Vertebroplasty to reinforce the spine between the gaps between the vertebrae is used to treat patients with back pain caused by vertebral compression fracture without surgery, and it works by injecting liquid cement into the spinal cavity to replace damaged bone tissue. Treatment requires a bout 20-30 minutes to allow the injected cement to harden. Then doctors will periodically follow-up on symptoms. After the injection, the patient can return to normal living and work without excessive physical exertions and inappropriate postures.

<h2>Limitations of Vertebroplasty</h2>
<ul>
<li>Vertebral compression fracture patients due to thin bones that have already been fused or treated according to symptoms with poor treatment outcomes.</li>
<li>Sepsis.</li>
<li>Vertebral compression fracture affecting more than 80-90% of the spine.</li>
<li>Untreated problems related to blood clots, since they can lead to excessive bleeding.</li>
</ul>
