  • Description
Description

It is a latest technique to treat the breakage in the spinal bone which weakens due to loss of body mass. This procedure includes the insertion of cement through injecting it into these bones. It can be caused because of bone disease, such as osteoporosis which decreases the strength of the bone. Such fracture is most common in those individuals who are above 50 years. It is estimated that 200 million females are dealing with bone disease and 9.2% of people have to opt for vertebroplasty.

Your doctor will perform this operation after following some protocols and these are as follows:-
