Abstract
- Bone cement has been used in spinal surgery for as long as 50 years. In contemporary spinal surgery, cement augmentation of fractured osteoporotic vertebrae in the form of vertebroplasty/kyphoplasty as well as cement augmentation of pedicle screws in instrumented procedures of any etiology are established as standard procedures. Both procedures are very effective, although the benefits of vertebroplasty/kyphoplasty procedures have been controversially discussed in the past. Overall, complications rarely occur. The most relevant complication is cement leakage, which is asymptomatic in the majority of cases but in the worst case might lead to neurological deficits, embolic events and even circulatory collapse. Prevention of cement leakage is therefore crucial. Risk factors for cement leakage and preventive measures are presented in a comprehensive review based on the available literature.<br /> (© 2022.
