Non Operative & Operative (Veroroplasty & Kypnoplasty) For VCF

Vertebral Compression Fractures (VCFs) often result from conditions such as osteoporosis, trauma, or malignancy. These fractures can lead to significant pain, reduced mobility, and decreased quality of life. Management of VCFs can be broadly categorized into non-operative and operative treatments, including procedures like vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty.

Non Operative & Operative (Veroroplasty & Kypnoplasty) For VCF F&Q's

A vertebral compression fracture (VCF) occurs when one or more vertebrae in the spine collapse or compress due to conditions such as osteoporosis, trauma, or malignancy. This can lead to severe back pain, spinal deformity, and reduced mobility.

Symptoms typically include sudden or severe back pain, height loss, a stooped posture, limited spinal mobility, and, in some cases, neurological symptoms such as numbness or weakness if the spinal cord is compressed.

Diagnosis usually involves a combination of: Clinical Examination: Assessing symptoms and physical signs. Imaging Studies: X-rays, MRI, or CT scans to visualize the fracture and assess bone density or any associated damage. Bone Density Testing: To determine if osteoporosis or other bone density issues are present.

Non-operative treatments include: Pain Management: Using NSAIDs, acetaminophen, or opioids for pain relief. Osteoporosis Medications: Bisphosphonates, calcitonin, or other medications to improve bone density. Physical Therapy: Exercises to strengthen back muscles, improve posture, and enhance mobility. Spinal Bracing: Using a brace or corset for support and alignment. Lifestyle Modifications: Nutritional support, fall prevention measures, and activity modifications.

Surgery may be considered if non-operative treatments are ineffective or if there is significant spinal instability, severe pain, or neurological impairment. Surgical options include vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty.

Vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive procedure where bone cement is injected into the fractured vertebra under fluoroscopic guidance. It aims to stabilize the fracture and provide pain relief.
