Vertebroplasty is a procedure in which polymethlymethacrylate (PMMA) is injected into a vertebral body compression fracture. It has been suggested that fractues greater than 65% to 70% of the original vertebral body height are too compressed to be treated successfully with this procedure. We describe six patients with severe compression fractures that were successfully treated with vertebroplasty in which the trocar was inserted in the far lateral aspect of the vertebral body, because of the typical morphology of severe compression fractures.
椎体成形术是一种将聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯(PMMA)注入椎体压缩骨折部位的手术。有人提出,椎体高度压缩超过原始椎体高度的65%至70%时,采用该手术治疗难以成功。我们描述了6例严重压缩骨折患者,由于严重压缩骨折的典型形态,通过在椎体远外侧插入套管针,成功接受了椎体成形术治疗。
