Spinal Pains in Geriatric Group of Osteoporotic Vertebral Body Compression-fracture Relieved with Cath Lab-Vertebroplasty using Small-Volume Glass Acrylate.

Conclusion: Significant (90%) pain relief achieved within 24 to 48 hours in eighteen (81.81%) patients. Cath lab-PVP increases safety, early mobility without analgesics. Small volume PMMA is optimal and less prone for complication. Cath lab PVP fluoroscopy with its increased PMMA radio opacity monitors bone filling well. It has less procedural time and better psychological impact on the minds of geriatric. PMID: 31309795 [PubMed - in process]
