Abstract

A vertebral compression fracture (VCF) is the most common type of osteoporotic fracture, defined as a loss of height of at least 20% of the anterior, posterior, or central portion of the vertebra, or a reduction in height of at least 4 mm when compared to normal height. VCFs exert unnecessary strain on the anterior half of the vertebrae and the anterior longitudinal ligament, putting the spine's anterior column at risk. Even though many fractures may be treated conservatively, such as with bed rest and basic bracing, 13.5% of fractures fail to heal, resulting in excruciating back pain, spinal kyphotic deformity, and neurological problems. During the 1980s. Vertebroplasty was developed by Galibert and Deramond to address a specific issue in a patient with an upper cervical spine hemangioma. The bulk of Vertebroplasty or Kyphoplasty complications are caused by cement seeping outside of the compressed vertebral body. Although neurological disorders are relatively rare, they have been reported. For example, only 0-3.7 and 0-0.5% of patients reported cord compression and radiculopathy, respectively. Padovani et al. recently reported a case of symptomatic pulmonary embolism caused by PMMA and leading to pulmonary infarction.
