Q

Fracture reduction

A

Fracture reduction is one of the standard orthopedic goals when treating a broken bone. The definition of “reduction” as written in Stedman’s medical dictionary is: repositioning; the restoration by surgical and manipulative procedures, of a part to its normal anatomical relation.

Q

Balloon kyphoplasty

A

Balloon kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive, orthopedic treatment that stabilizes the fractured vertebra, reducing pain and providing for correction of the deformity. It uses balloons to create a void and move bone, and highly-viscous cement to support the surrounding bone.

Q

What are the most common causes of VCFs?

A

Osteoporosis and cancer

23
Q

What is the current “standard of care” for VCFs?

A

Conservative care such as bedrest, pain medications and back braces

24
Q

Why are VCFs treated this way?

A

When confronted with treating VCFs, conventional surgery methods (spinal instrumentation) are not typically used for these reasons:

  1. Generally, conventional surgical methods to correct the spinal deformity are too invasive for the geriatric population
  2. Osteoporotic bone is very soft and weak making the conventional method difficult to apply
25
Q

List the four AO principles of fracture reduction

A
  1. fracture reduction and fixation to restore anatomical relationships
  2. Stability by fixation or splintage, as the nature of the injury requires.
  3. Preservation of blood supply to soft tissue and bone by careful handling as gentle reduction techniques.
  4. Early and safe mobilization of the part and the patient.
26
Q

Summarize the balloon kyphoplasty procedure

A
  1. The spine specialist creates a small pathway into the left and right sides of the fractured bone (referred to as a bilateral approach) through the patients back. The skin incisions are each approximately 1 cm in length.
  2. A small, orthopedic balloon is guided through the instrument into the vertebra.
  3. The balloon is carefully inflated in an attempt to raise the collapsed vertebra and return it to its normal position. Inflation of the balloon creates a void (cavity) in the vertebral body.
  4. Once the vertebra is in the correct position, the balloon is deflated and removed.
  5. The cavity is filled with highly-viscous (or thick) bone cement forming an “internal cast” to support the surrounding bone and prevent further collapse.
