First, what about elderly patients who unfortunately develop vertebral osteoporotic compression bone? Please do not worry. There is already a proven method to treat osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures – bone cement injection (PVP) Bone cement injection (i.e. percutaneous vertebroplasty, PVP) – a minimally invasive percutaneous vertebroplasty procedure to treat this persistent condition. The principle of this technique is to penetrate a fine needle into the diseased vertebral body with the help of a large imported X-ray machine, and then inject bone cement into the inside of the vertebral body through this fine needle. The solidification of the bone cement in the vertebral body enhances the stability of the vertebral body, thus achieving the effect of strengthening the vertebral body and eliminating pain. The procedure is minimally invasive and can be completed under local anesthesia, and most patients experience a significant reduction in pain after the procedure. The injected bone cement is like a steel bar inside the vertebral body, and the injected drug (medical bone cement) is like the cement used to repair a house, which holds the steel bar firmly in place, thus relieving pain and avoiding further flattening and collapse of the vertebral body. Second, what preparation is needed if I am ready to undergo percutaneous vertebroplasty? This procedure is minimally invasive and has a quick recovery, with most patients taking about 1 week to be admitted to the hospital and discharged. Prior to surgery, CT and MRI scans of the spine are required to carefully assess the spine for osteoporosis and fractures, and post-surgery fluids and symptomatic management are all that is needed. The surgery itself has little effect on the patient’s daily diet, bowel movements, etc. C. What other diseases can percutaneous vertebroplasty be used for? In addition to treating intractable bone pain caused by osteoporosis and vertebral compression fractures, the direct killing effect of bone cement on tumor cells can also be used to treat metastatic bone tumors, vertebral hemangiomas, myeloma and other diseases.
