Cement Injection

Vertebral fractures or collapses are serious spinal conditions that typically occur due to bone degeneration, accidents, or severe trauma. These injuries can lead to significant pain and impair mobility. They are mostly seen in patients aged 50 and above, especially those with underlying osteoporosis.

Recognizing Symptoms of Vertebral Fracture or Collapse

Lower back pain

Pain typically occurs in the lumbar region or hips areas that bear weight. It may radiate to the hips or legs, making movement difficult.

Radiating leg pain

Some patients may experience nerve compression, leading to leg numbness or weakness.

Unbearable pain

Severe vertebral collapse can cause intense, debilitating pain that disrupts normal daily life.

Increased pain when standing or walking

Damaged vertebrae may cause more severe pain when standing or walking for extended periods.

Diagnosis

At S Spine & Joint Hospital, a specialized spine and joint facility, diagnosis begins with identifying the root cause before proceeding with treatment. Our experienced specialists conduct a thorough evaluation. Any patient showing clear signs of vertebral fractures, compression, or collapse—accompanied by noticeable pain—must undergo both X-ray and MRI scans. These imaging tests help pinpoint the affected area and assess whether the damaged vertebrae are impacting surrounding nerves, enabling the medical team to determine the most appropriate course of treatment.

Treatment Technique

We distinguish ourselves through our exclusive “S-Quality” standard at S Spine & Joint Hospital — a comprehensive care model built on three essential pillars:

Specialist Physicians

🎯 Our board-certified spine specialists are trained in accordance with hospital-standardized treatment protocols, ensuring consistent and high-quality care.

Experienced Clinical Support Team

🎯 Our skilled support staff possess a deep understanding of spinal treatments and collaborate seamlessly with doctors—helping shorten treatment time and enhance care efficiency.

Advanced Spine-Specific Technology

🎯 We utilize cutting-edge technology purpose-built for spinal care, including leading surgical equipment from around the world. The absence of any of these key components can negatively affect treatment outcomes.

Treatment Steps

At S Spine & Joint Hospital, we utilize advanced technologies specifically designed for spinal treatment—such as world-class surgical equipment and open MRI machines that can adjust from lying to a standing position. These tools allow for precise and rapid diagnosis and treatment. The absence of any one of these elements may compromise treatment effectiveness.

1

Identifying the Cause

Diagnosis begins with posture-specific X-rays and upright MRI scans to evaluate abnormalities in cervical discs. Physicians combine both sets of images for a highly accurate assessment.

2

Pre-Treatment Preparation

Patients receive guidelines for pre-procedure preparation, such as fasting or disclosing medical history and allergies. A detailed physical examination is also conducted.

3

Cement Injection Procedure

The procedure involves inserting a fine needle guided by a specialized fluoroscopic X-ray to precisely target the fractured, collapsed, or compressed vertebra. Medical-grade bone cement is then slowly injected into the area to restore structural strength and relieve pain.

4

Follow-Up and Recovery

After treatment, the doctor and a specialized support team will monitor the recovery progress and evaluate the patient's condition to ensure pain relief, no complications, and a full return to normal life.
