METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TREATING COMPRESSION FRACTURES IN VERTEBRAL BODIES

摘要

A composite vertebroplasty cement for positioning in a void in a vertebral body so as to treat a compression fracture in that vertebral body, the composite vertebroplasty cement comprising:a ceramic component for integrating with the vertebral body so as to treat the compression fracture; anda sealing component for sealing the void in the vertebral body so as to maintain the composite vertebroplasty cement within the void in the vertebral body.;A composite vertebroplasty cement for positioning in a void in a vertebral body so as to treat a compression fracture in that vertebral body, the composite vertebroplasty cement comprising:a conventional PMMA bone cement component for integrating with the vertebral body so as to treat the compression fracture; anda sealing component for sealing the void in the vertebral body so as to maintain the composite vertebroplasty cement within the void in the vertebral body.
