Osteoporosis is relatively common nowadays. Osteoporosis in the elderly can easily cause spinal fractures, which can be injured with a slight external force. Spinal fractures can cause pain in the lower back, difficulty in sitting and standing, and can even cause hunchback, etc. With the accelerated aging process in our society, this disease has become a common disease that seriously affects the quality of life of the elderly. Elderly people suffering from this disease usually have to stay in bed for a long time due to pain and inability to stand. In the advanced stage of the disease, the injured vertebrae further shrink and the deformity worsens, which can also lead to thoracic volume reduction, oxygen deprivation and cardiopulmonary dysfunction, thus threatening life. In the past, the treatment method generally chose to let the patient rest in a hard bed for about 6 weeks, so that the fractured vertebrae slowly recover. However, long-term sedation may accelerate the progression of osteoporosis and may also cause a variety of bed rest complications such as lung infection, deep vein thrombosis in the lower extremities, and urinary tract infection. How can we quickly get an elderly person with a spinal fracture on his or her feet? There is currently a medical method, which we commonly refer to as a shot in the spine, medically known as percutaneous vertebroplasty. Percutaneous vertebroplasty was first introduced in France in 1987 by interventional radiologist Herve Deramond and his collaborative group. It is a simple, minimally invasive surgical procedure that offers an effective treatment for patients who suffer from spinal fractures and pain due to osteoporosis or tumors, for example. This interventional technique involves the imaging-mediated injection of bone cement into the fractured or destroyed vertebral body. Numerous hospitals in China are now skilled in performing this minimally invasive procedure. The medical team of Director Wang Yun of the Department of Orthopaedics of Ningbo Second Hospital has successfully treated more than 600 cases of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, vertebral hemangiomas and vertebral malignancies using percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and posteromedial kyphoplasty (PKP). The technique is easy to operate, effective, and has a low complication rate. The incision is only the size of a pinhole, and the patient can move around the same day after surgery. A single treatment takes about 15 minutes and can be performed even on frail or elderly patients (the oldest patient treated in our department was 91 years old).
