The patient, a 78-year-old woman, was admitted to the hospital with “chest and back pain for 5 years, progressively aggravated for 6 months”. At the time of admission, the patient was unable to sit, stand or walk for a long time, and the severe pain prevented her from sleeping and seriously affected her daily life. With a glimmer of hope, the patient came to the Department of Orthopedics of Peking University Shougang Hospital to see Dr. Liu Zheng, deputy chief physician, and was diagnosed with “thoracic 3 vertebral body hemangioma”. The upper thoracic spine is one of the forbidden areas for vertebroplasty due to the small pedicle and vertebral body, and the obstruction of the scapula and upper arm during intraoperative fluoroscopy, but on July 13, Dr. Liu, the deputy chief surgeon, performed the surgery without fear of pressure. On the first day after surgery, the patient walked on the ground and the pain in the thoracic back was significantly reduced. According to Dr. Liu, vertebroplasty is one of the most clinically important minimally invasive spine surgeries, mainly for patients with spinal fractures and spinal tumors, with good surgical results, minimal trauma and fast recovery. Dr. Liu’s medical team has performed hundreds of similar minimally invasive spine surgeries with good surgical results and no serious complications.
