Best Doctors for Vertebroplasty Treatment in Bhopal

Vertebroplasty is a treatment procedure that is advised for the management of compression fractures in the spine by injecting special bone cement into fractured vertebrae. Vertebroplasty will be helpful in relieving pain and stabilizing the spinal cord. It is called a minimally invasive procedure. Vertebroplasty is done in cases of spinal injury, multiple myeloma, osteoporosis, and spinal tumors. Before doing the procedure, there will be some diagnostic tests to be done, which include X-ray of the spine, MRI scan, CT scan, blood tests, and DEXA bone density scan. Vertebroplasty can be done under anesthesia, and uses fluoroscopy for injecting the cement surgically into the affected part of the bone, and then the bone parts will be held together. The side effects of vertebroplasty include the formation of blood clots, bleeding, allergic reaction to anesthesia, infection, nerve damage, cement may leak in the body, and vertebral fractures.
