Current Status Of Percutaneous Vertebroplasty Treatment For Cervical, Upper Thoracic Compression Fracture And Tumours

Percutaneous vertebroplasty is guided through the skin to pedicle or pedicle outgoing vertebra reduction for increasing bone cement injection vertebral strength and stability, prevent the collapse, pain and even some recovery vertebral height for the purpose of spinal surgery a minimally invasive technology.Since its first treatment for aggressive hemangioma, later it is widely used in the tumors and compression fracture caused by osteoporosis.While its clinical application is mainly used for lower thoracic and lumbar tumors and compression fractures, rarely used for the upper thoracic and cervical spine compression fracture,because the cervical spine and thoracic vertebrae are relatively small and not easy to puncture point positioning, causing bone cement leakage of greater chance.This article mainly disscusses the current status of percutaneous treatment for cervical vertebral and thoracic tumors and compression fracture.
