The patient lies on his or her stomach.A small incision is made in the skin on each side of the spinal column.A long needle is inserted through each opening. The surgeon slides the needles through the back of the spinal column into the fractured vertebral body.

A fluoroscope is used to guide the needles adjusted above the patients’ back that lets the surgeon see the patients’ spine on a screen. Metal objects show up clearly on x-rays the needles are easy for the surgeon to see on the fluoroscope screen. This helps the surgeon confirm that the needle is in place special bone cement called polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) is injected through the needle into the fractured vertebrae. As a rule, the procedure takes one hour for each vertebra that is treated. After the procedure, patients lie flat on their backs for two hours while the cement hardens. They are then discharged and can resume normal activity. The majority of patients have significant pain relief within a few days.As a rule, the procedure takes one hour for each vertebra that is treated.After the procedure, patients lie flat on their backs for two hours while the cement hardens.
