Vertebroplasty, clinically known as percutaneous transluminal vertebroplasty, is a minimally invasive procedure that strengthens the vertebral body by injecting bone cement (polymethyl acrylate, PMMA) or artificial bone into the diseased vertebral body. Advantages of vertebroplasty treatment 1. Pain relief Both balloon-expanded PKP and traditional PVP have reliable and efficient pain relief, with pain relief rates of 70% to 95% reported in the literature. It can also prevent further compression and collapse of the fractured vertebral body. For fracture reduction and correction of kyphosis, balloon-expanded PKP is superior to conventional PVP, and some scholars have reported that PVP has an immediate pain relief efficiency of 97%, with pain scores decreasing from severe to mild pain and an overall patient satisfaction rate of over 80%. Clinical experience also confirms that PVP has quite amazing early analgesic effects, and it can be said that no current drug treatment can obtain such effective pain relief. 2. Reduction of complications The operation time of PVP is about 30 minutes, and the patient can leave bed and resume normal life under the protection of external fixation 24 hours after the operation, which reduces the incidence of bedridden fracture-related complications. As patients move early, complications such as pneumonia, pressure sores, urinary tract infections and other inconveniences in care brought about by long-term bed rest are avoided, and the vicious cycle of osteoporosis caused by bone loss due to long-term bed rest is avoided. Later, it can also prevent symptoms such as back pain, gastric distension and even difficulty in standing upright caused by vertebral compression and kyphosis deformity. PKP can restore the height of the vertebral body and maintain the physiological curvature of the patient’s spine by inserting special tools (balloons, etc.) into the vertebral body. An ex vivo study comparing the effectiveness of PKP and PVP in restoring vertebral height showed that 97% of the lost height was restored with the balloon, while only 30% was restored with conventional PVP. Reducing the leakage rate equates to a reduction in surgical complications, while restoring vertebral height, improving kyphosis, and maintaining normal spinal sequences in turn has a beneficial effect on preventing patients from developing back pain in the future.
