Hands-on Workshops<br />
Vertebral augmentation techniques<br />
Coordinators: J. Garnon (Strasbourg/FR),<br />
G. Tsoumakidou (Strasbourg/FR)<br />
percutaneous vertebroplasty is a novel technique in which<br />
acrylic cement is injected through a needle into a collapsed<br />
or weakened vertebra to stabilise the fracture. This procedure<br />
is effective for treating certain types of painful<br />
vertebral compression fractures and some painful or unstable<br />
benign and malignant vertebral lesions that fail to<br />
respond to the conservative therapies.<br />
Kyphoplasty is an adaptation of vertebroplasty. High pressure<br />
balloons are inserted into the vertebral bodies and enable the<br />
creation of a cavity into which cement can be safely injected.<br />
Stentoplasty is a further adaptation of vertebroplasty and<br />
kyphoplasty. It is a new technique recently developed that in -<br />
volves placing a metal stent (cage) within the collapsed ver -<br />
tebral body and then expanding this to try and enable some<br />
height restoration before filling that cavity created with<br />
cement.<br />
Continued from past CI<strong>RSE</strong> congresses, this workshop will give<br />
an insight into the principles and techniques of these procedures.<br />
It will start with a theoretical introduction and a brief<br />
review of the principles and indications. This will be followed<br />
by a hands-on demonstration. Participants will then have the<br />
opportunity to practice needle placement, cement preparation<br />
and injection on plastic spine models under fluoroscopic<br />
guidance.<br />
