TREATMENTS FOR BONE CONDITIONS
While the goal of osteoporosis treatment is to control pain and prevent bone fractures, by preventing bone loss. The treatment for vertebral compression fractures aims at reducing the pain and stabilizing and repairing the fracture. This is best achieved by medications, back braces, bed rest and physical therapy.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may be prescribed to relieve bone, muscle and nerve pain. Your doctor may prescribe a back brace that supports the back and restricts movement.
Surgery may be suggested if you continue to have severe pain despite non-surgical treatment. Some minimally invasive surgical procedures for treating vertebral compression fractures include:
BONE CONDITIONS it Treats
OTHER TREATED CONDITIONS
In this procedure, a large needle is introduced into the spine with a balloon called a bone tamp and inflated until it expands to the desired height. The space created is then filled with or injected with orthopaedic cement called polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA).
This procedure restores the height of the vertebrae and reduces the deformity.
BONE CONDITIONS it Treats
OTHER TREATED CONDITIONS
This technique involves inserting polymethylmethacrylate into the bone of the collapsed vertebra with the needle and syringe under the guidance of X-ray. This technique is performed to stabilize the fracture and prevent further collapse.
BONE CONDITIONS it Treats
OTHER TREATED CONDITIONS
In this procedure, cement is introduced into the sacral bone at the base of the spine to treat a compression fracture. This procedure reduces pain and improves the stability of the sacrum, which is part of the pelvic structure.
