Whether bone cement is necessary for lumbar vertebral body damage needs to be decided based on the patient’s specific physical condition and medical condition. If there is no contraindication to bone cement, and there is no rupture of the posterior border of the cone, no nerve or spinal cord compression and no obvious displacement of the spinal canal, bone cement can be injected to treat the condition; if there is a contraindication to bone cement and there is a compression and displacement, etc., bone cement is generally not used.
Bone cement therapy is a minimally invasive and highly effective treatment. It allows for early recovery, thereby reducing the risk of bed-ridden complications, and is essentially free of side effects and toxicity.
In patients with lumbar vertebral body damage and partial bone defects, bone cement can be used as a filler material to fill the bone defects through minimally invasive bone cement surgery if there are no contraindications to bone cement surgery.
If the patient belongs to a sensitized group, prone to allergy, or accompanied by diabetes and other diseases, which may lead to infection, it is not advisable to perform bone cement surgery. If there is a rupture at the posterior margin of the damaged vertebral body, bone cement injection should not be performed to prevent the bone cement from entering into the vertebral canal and compressing the spinal cord, which may cause serious harm.
Occurrence of lumbar vertebral body damage, it is recommended to seek medical treatment in time, under the guidance of the doctor, according to the patient’s specific situation to choose the appropriate treatment, so as to avoid delaying the condition.
