Whether compression fracture can be cemented or not depends on the specific fracture condition. Generally speaking, simple compression fracture can be cemented, while compression fracture with dislocation or instability is not recommended to be cemented.
1. Simple compression fracture: refers to simple compression fracture without vertebral instability such as subluxation, percutaneous vertebral kyphoplasty is feasible, utilizing minimally invasive methods to inject bone cement into the vertebral body, which can restore the height of the vertebral body, and help to alleviate pain.
2. Compression fracture with subluxation or instability: In this case, the vertebral body is unstable, and cement injection cannot solve the stabilization problem, and it may also damage the spinal cord and nerve roots, so cement treatment is not recommended and pedicle screw fixation is usually performed.
Patients with compression fractures are recommended to undergo targeted standardized treatment under the guidance of a doctor to reduce the adverse effects of the disease.
