Needle spine augmentation system VERTEBROSTEEL™

percutaneous vertebroplasty

Vertebral compression fracture (VCF) refers to a break in any of the bones (vertebrae) of the spinal column. It usually occurs when the front of the vertebral body collapses and may be caused by: OSTEOPOROSIS: painful osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures without posterior wall involvement TRAUMA: painful vertebral compression fractures CANCER: treatment of osteolytic lesions located within the vertebral body with intact cortical shell If conservative treatment is not enough, a cement augmentation procedure could be an effective treatment, reducing the risk of subsequent fractures. Vertebroplasty is a very well established technique for treating back pain caused by severe osteoporosis or tumours with consequent loss of height or fracture of the vertebral body.
