Answer: A percutaneous vertebroplasty is performed to treat osteoporosis related compression fractures.
Explanation:
This procedure is not invasive for patients. It is a new technique in the medical field that is used by injecting the patient with a cement (medical grade) into the fracture. By having the injection, the patient is able to go back to functioning as before and will need little to no pain relief. It usually takes up to 48 hours before the patient sees improvement in the fracture.
