Every day primary care physicians see patients suffering from painful vertebral compression fractures (VCFs). More than 700,000 such fractures occur in the United States annually. Stryker Vertebroplasty is an effective minimally invasive technique in which bone cement is injected into the fractured vertebral body. This stabilizes the fracture, significantly reduces pain, and can protect against further collapse of the treated vertebra, thereby preventing the kyphosis commonly seen as a result of osteoporosis. Multiple studies have shown that vertebroplasty provides long-term pain relief and has a low complication rate.
In-depth information about VCFs and the impact of Stryker Vertebroplasty as a safe and effective treatment is presented throughout this site. Additional information is also available from your Stryker sales representative.
