Percutaneous Vertebroplasty Using Hydroxyapatite Blocks for the Treatment of Vertebral Body Fracture

Abstract: Fig. 1 Photograph showing hydroxyapatite blocks (upper), the special inserter (middle), and a hydroxyapatite plug (lower). The mean follow-up period was 16.6 months. The pain associated with this procedure, effects on adjacent vertebral bodies, and other complications were evaluated. The rate of recollapse after vertebroplasty was examined in 26 patients with 26 vertebral bodies treated and followed up for more than 3 months. Mean time of operation was 57 minutes and mean number of blocks used per vertebral bo… Show more

“…However, the treatment‐related adverse events cannot be ignored, such as the cement leakage, the incidence of which was approximately 33% in the PVP arm reported by Schofer et al []. The secondary fracture was also a potential danger, especially when the case occurred near vertebral bodies, the incidence of that could even achieve 86.7%, according to the Nishioka et al []. Meanwhile, there was still a risk to harm, referring to a small cortical chip fracture described by Voormolen et al [].…”

“…Her chief complaint gradually changed from bilateral back pain to an aching pain extending to the left thorax before her first visit to our hospital. What is noteworthy about the history of this case is that 8 years previously, she had had a painful OVF of the T12 vertebral body at the age of 79 years, which was treated with vertebroplasty using hydroxyapatite (HA) blocks and posterior pedicle screw instrumentation followed by iliac bone graft fusion from T11 to L1 at another hospital [7].…”
