Vertebroplasty

    What is Vertebroplasty?

    Vertebroplasty is similar to Kyphoplasty in that it is used to reduce the pain and deformity following compression fractures of the spine. Compression fractures occur in the body of the vertebra. These compression fractures may involve the collapse of one or more vertebrae in the spine and are a common result of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a disease most common in post-menopausal women, but can occur in men or women with hormonal imbalances. Osteoporosis results in a loss of normal bone density, mass and strength, leading to a condition in which bones are increasingly porous and vulnerable to breaking. Vertebrae may also become weakened by cancer. When the vertebra collapses Vertebroplasy offers the potential to stop the loss of bone height in the vertebra and reverse deformity of the spine that can cause pain. This procedure is most affective if performed within the first 8 weeks following the injury or onset of the fracture. Delaying will result in the fracture continuing to collapse on it self, starting to heal and not being able to regain bone height.


    Dr Freeman has treated me more than a few times he is always professional and caring the staff is wonderful and attentive including a phone call the next day to see how i was feeling thankyou Dr. Freeman

    Vertebroplasty

    Procedure Details


    As in vertebroplasty a patient lies face down. The physician advances a thin tube into the fractured vertebra from an incision in the back. Through the tube, the physician drills a small hole through the hard, outer part of the bone and into its softer center. This provides a pathway for the physician to inject cement into the interior body of the vertebra.. Either local anesthesia or general anesthesia may be used in these procedures.

    Vertebroplasty can be performed on patients who:

    • are too elderly or frail to tolerate open spinal surgery, or whose bones are too weak for surgical repair
    • have vertebral compression due to a tumor.
    • suffer from osteoporosis due to long-term steroid treatment or a metabolic disorder


    Preparing For Vertebroplasty

    You may be referred for vertebroplasty if you are experiencing back pain, and it is determined that the pain is related to a vertebral fracture rather than other conditions such as arthritis. The most accurate way to diagnose the cause of your pain is with an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). However, people with pacemakers, metal fragments, or implants cannot have MRIs because of the magnetic fields used by MRI scanning. There are alternatives to MRIs that can be used to diagnose back pain, but in the case of multiple vertebral fractures, it can be challenging to determine which one is causing your pain.

    Before having vertebroplasty, it’s vital to ensure that you manage any medical conditions such as hypertension and diabetes. Because you will be sedated, you will be instructed to stop eating solid food for a short period before the procedure, usually at least six hours. Generally, when you book the procedure, you will receive detailed instructions on how to prepare; be sure to ask if you have any questions.


    I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Ceraulo at Redefine Healthcare. He actually spends time with you explaining all your options for pain relief. Then a game plan is made that is good for you.
    I wish all Doctors were like him.
