Spine Bone Cements Outcomes - Post Market Follow-up
It is admitted that: - Cementoplasty procedures such as vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are recommended in the treatment of painful vertebral compression fractures, due to their efficiency and safety - These mini-invasive procedures, where bone cement is injected into a partially collapsed vertebral body, are used to reduce pain and to provide mechanical stability - In most patients, a rapid pain relief and an increase in mobility and quality of life are obtained - Serious complications from bone cements leaks and adjacent vertebral fractures can be observed but remain rather rare - The use of spinal cement in pedicle screw augmentation procedures can be relevant to increase the strength of the screw fixation in the bone, particularly in osteoporotic patients. TEKNIMED has developed several bone cements currently used in vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty procedures in the treatment of vertebral weakness. Among those, one cement is also used in pedicle screw augmentation procedures. With the increasing use of these procedures, there is a need of real-life safety and efficacy data on the bone cements. This retro-prospective study is performed to confirm the safety and performance of TEKNIMED spine bone cements in their current clinical use.
