Q: Is the Vertebroplasty safe?
A: Very. It’s been used for more than decade with outstanding results. In fact, the injection of cement has also been used successfully to treat cancer of the spine.

Q: Who is a candidate for Vertebroplasty?
A: Anyone in moderate to severe pain from a recent compress fracture of the spine. While some older fractures can be treated, Vertebroplasty is most successful in treating recent fractures.

Q: How successful is the treatment?
A: 75 to 90% of people treated with Vertebroplasty report a complete or significant reduction in pain.

Q: What are the risks and complications of the procedure?
A: Vertebroplasty is extremely safe, with few risks or complications. Of course, as with every procedure, risk depends on the individual patient. If you have any concerns at all, please feel free to discuss them with the doctor.

Q: Can Vertebroplasty treat or prevent “widow’s hump”?
A: Some studies suggest that early treatment of spinal fractures with vertebroplasty can strengthen the spine and improve posture. Currently, however, there is no evidence to prove that the procedure will prevent these problems. However, new research is examining ways to solve these problems and the procedure may strengthen the spine and prevent further injury.
