Percutaneous sacroplasty using CT fluoroscopy.

چکیده
Sacral insufficiency fractures frequently cause significant pain and limit activities of daily living in patients with osteoporosis. Percutaneous vertebroplasty is a common procedure to alleviate the pain associated with thoracic and lumbar vertebral compression fractures. The sacral percutaneous vertebroplasty procedure (sacroplasty) has recently been introduced as an alternative to medical management of osteoporotic sacral insufficiency fractures. We describe our CT fluoroscopy technique in performing percutaneous sacroplasty.

Treatment of sacral insufficiency fractures (SIFs) has traditionally been conservative, but several patients have been treated with percutaneous sacroplasty. Unfortunately, in the setting of severe, bilateral SIFs, cement may not withstand shear forces present at the lumbosacral junction, and surgical hardware may not provide adequate fixation in osteoporotic, cancellous bone of the sacrum, lea...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Percutaneous sacroplasty has recently gained attention as a potential treatment for sacral insufficiency fractures. We describe a readily identifiable fluoroscopic landmark that facilitates needle placement and validate this with virtual needle placement by using CT data and fluoroscopically guided treatment in 13 patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS From CTs of 100 consecut...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Sacroplasty is not as routinely performed as vertebroplasty, possibly due to technical challenges and the paucity of data regarding subsequent outcomes. The first goal of the present investigation was to describe a technique for sacroplasty that facilitates safe needle placement and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) extrusion. The second goal was to perform finite element ana...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Sacral insufficiency fractures are an infrequent but often disabling cause of severe low back pain. We report our results of a sacroplasty technique, using CT for needle placement and fluoroscopy to monitor the polymethylmethacrylate injection in a group of patients with sacral insufficiency fractures. METHODS All patients had a history of chronic back pain and had an o...

UNLABELLED The treatment of sacral insufficiency fractures remains an area of active investigation and development, which has typically concentrated on the lateral elements of the sacrum and the sacral ala. Although these fractures frequently involve the first sacral (S1) vertebral body, this structure has eluded a successful technique to accurately access its central portion for percutaneous c...
