@@jackhubert quite a lot, to be honest. Now I have nearly a normal life, with re-education 3 times a week. But I still can't sleep on a flat bed and my sofa and cushions are a sweet heaven for my nights.
That's exactly what i need done to my L1 compression fracture, because it's wedge shaped it makes me slump over constantly, my posture is shit and I'm in chronic pain every day.
Unfortunately, surgeries like this one should be done until fracture is "recent" (less than one week for younger, less than one month for older, usually).
I have fractured numerous vertebrae due to Multiple Myeloma (now in remission)... I have osteopenic bones. I wonder if I would be a candidate for this surgery. This excites me, I am going to check with my doctor.
Bonjour, combien de temps avez-vous mis après pour vous remettre ? Qu'avez-vous dû faire ? Reprise de l'activité physique sous combien de temps ? Merci ! ;)
For Kyphoplasty are used two little baloons/cricks due to enhance vertebral body height, but those are removed before resin is injected. The latter only will stuck within bone constantly.
I perform kyphoplasties. It is not better. It is simply performing a bilateral (two-sided) kyphoplasty with a more convoluted delivery system and the addition of two small mini-jacks that could never "jack up" a collapsed osteoporotic vertebral body as animated in this video. As well, in addition to the cost of the multiple extra devices used to simply place the canulas in the bone, two inevitably expensive mini-jacks, will also be left in the bone. The whole thing is actually ridiculous in my honest opinion.
What if the body sees all that stuff you put in it as a foreign object? Should the body reject all of that, you would literally put that patient on anti rejection drugs for the rest of their lives. OR, you will have to go back in and completely replace that whole vertebrae. Dont bone grafts work anymore? You take bone material from other parts of the same body and put them where they are needed.
not with compression fracture. if untreated it will fuck up your band washers by squishing them with time, thatd male you a chronic pain patient for sure after some time
À condition que cette opération soit faite dans les 8 jours après la fracture, sans cela succès non garanti. Il ne faut pas oublier de prévenir le patient, j'en sais quelque chose.........
I'm a spine physician. I perform bone cement procedures (Kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty) for osteoporotic fractures. There is no way that those "mini-jacks" could possibly "jack up" a collapsed osteoporotic vertebral body. They would simply just cut through the weakened bone.
