How soon can I be active after vertebroplasty PVP?

After PVP, patients are advised to stay in bed for 4-6 hours and then move to the floor with a waist brace if there is no special discomfort. If there is no nausea and vomiting in the first 2 hours after the operation, the patient can eat a small amount of liquid food. The purpose of 4-6 hours of bed rest is to reduce local wound bleeding and deep wound hematoma. On the day of surgery, it is important to bring a waist brace to the floor and limit yourself to necessary activities such as going to the toilet, washing, and eating. Basic activities of daily living can be engaged from the following day. However, PVP patients are advised to rest in bed as much as possible within 1-2 months after surgery, and to wear a lumbar girth when they must get up in order to make the fracture heal better and more completely, and then gradually increase the amount of activity, but the amount of activity should not be too large, and the main focus should be on daily work activities, not strenuous exercise, and not weight-bearing, in order to avoid the re-emergence of pain and new fracture.
