How Percutaneous Vertebroplasty is performed
Under image guidance, enter the affected vertebral body through the pedicle or corresponding channel. After establishing a working channel, slowly inject bone cement to fill the gap and enhance stability. A unilateral or bilateral approach can be selected as needed. Continuous fluoroscopic monitoring for leakage risk during the procedure. Postoperative observation of pain relief and changes in neurological signs, with the goal of reducing pain and improving weight-bearing stability.
