Abstract

The objective of this chapter is to introduce the vertebroplasty for osteoporotic fractures. Stabilizing the fractures of the spine by minimally invasive technique of “vertebroplasty” using cementing material is a new technique. Vertebroplasty was introduced in France in 1984 for treating vertebral hemangioma. This chapter also discusses the complications, and future of vertebroplasty and vertebral compression fractures treatment. The traditional treatment of VCF is conservative including various orthoses, pain relief medications, medical treatment for osteoporosis. The surgical treatment is indicated for significant neurological dysfunction, progressive deformity. The surgical treatment using implants like plates, rods, screws have their own problems due to osteoporosis like loss of implant fixation-implant failure, graft dislodgment, subsidence leading to progressive kyphosis.
