Good Improvement

A total of 47 percutaneous vertebroplasties (PVs) were performed for osteoporotic vertebral fractures in 31 patients, 25 PVs were performed using the frontal-opening cannula (FOC) and 22 using the new side-opening cannula (SOC), randomly distributed. The incidence of cement extrusion was 27% with the SOC, and 68% with the FOC, all asymptomatic (p<0.01). The pain control was similar for both groups, with good improvement of pain in most of the patients, and there were no clinical relevant complications. The cement leakage can be significantly reduced with this new SOC, which allows for a better cement injection toward the center of the vertebral body, increasing the safety of the procedure, with no increase in cost.
