In the field of orthopedic medicine, vertebroplasty systems are widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of spinal diseases as an important treatment method. With the continuous advancement of medical technology, vertebroplasty systems are also constantly innovating and subdividing. This article will introduce the main classification and characteristics of vertebroplasty systems in detail.
Vertebroplasty systems are mainly divided into two categories: percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP). PVP is to enhance the strength and stability of the vertebral body by injecting bone cement into the diseased vertebral body to prevent further collapse of the vertebral body, thereby achieving the purpose of relieving pain and early functional exercise. This technology is relatively simple to operate, with little trauma and fast recovery. It is suitable for minimally invasive treatment of diseases such as osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.
PKP is developed on the basis of PVP. It not only injects bone cement, but also restores the height of the vertebral body and partially corrects kyphosis through balloon expansion. PKP technology can more effectively restore the height of the vertebral body, reduce spinal kyphosis, and improve the quality of life of patients. Therefore, it has significant advantages in treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures and some traumatic vertebral fractures.
In addition, according to the different operation methods and equipment, the vertebroplasty system can also be divided into manual operation system and electric operation system. The manual operation system relies on the doctor's experience and technology and is suitable for simple or routine surgical operations; while the electric operation system is driven by a motor, which improves the accuracy and efficiency of the operation and is particularly suitable for complex or difficult operations.
With the continuous growth of medical needs, the vertebroplasty system is also constantly innovating and optimizing in design and function. Different types of vertebroplasty systems have their own scope of application and advantages. Doctors will choose the most appropriate treatment plan according to the specific situation of the patient to achieve the best treatment effect.
