Kyphoplasty Kit (Trocar 4.1)

Kyphoplasty is one of the new methods of treating spinal fractures, which has been greatly developed in recent decades. In this article, we will first examine kyphoplasty and then introduce the fast kyphoplasty kit (Trocar 4.1) of AJP brand.

What is kyphoplasty?

Kyphoplasty is a method to treat vertebral compression fracture. These fractures are one of the most common complications of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis leads to lose bone density and strength. As a result, bones become increasingly porous and vulnerable to fracture.

Vertebral body fracture leads to compression of the vertebra, shortening of the spine and deviation. This can lead to a kyphotic deformity and make it painful to stand or sit for long periods of time. It can also make it painful to move and walk.

These fractures can cause permanent spinal deformity and nerve damage if not treated quickly. For this reason, use of fast kyphoplasty kit is one of the most common techniques for the vertebral compression fractures treatment.

How is kyphoplasty performed?

1- The patient needs to lie down on the stomach (Prone Position) and then the surgeon performs a local anesthesia.

2- The surgeon makes a small incision in the patient’s back to start the surgery.

3- The surgeon inserts a trocar into the vertebral body by passing through the skin and muscles of the patient’s back.

4- With the aid of a system called fluoroscopy (television radiography), they guide the trocar into the correct position.

5- The surgeon inserts a balloon through the trocar into the vertebra.

6- The balloon is then slowly and carefully inflated to create the necessary space for the bone cement. The balloon also helps the vertebra regain its normal shape and return to its normal height.

7- The surgeon then deflates the balloon and removes it from the vertebra.

8-The surgeon uses specially designed tools in the kyphoplasty set to fill the cavity with bone cement under low pressure.

9- After injection, the cement hardens quickly and stabilizes the bone.

10- Finally, the surgeon removes the trocar  without the need for stitches.

Types of kyphoplasty

• Unipedicular balloon kyphoplasty
• Bipedicular balloon kyphoplasty

What are the benefits of using kyphoplasty kit?

• Minimally invasive
• Opening the compressed space in the vertebra and spine, which reduces the pressure on the spinal cord and pain
• Restoration of height lost due to fracture
• Restoration of the normal alignment and structural integrity of the spinal column
• Improving the function of the spinal column
• Prevention of fracture growth and deformity of the spinal column
• Typically, the surgeon discharges the patients from the hospital the day after surgery.
• Most patients do not need strong painkillers 3-4 days after surgery.
• The patient can do daily activities after a short period of time after the operation.

General components of the kyphoplasty kit

• Trocar for percutaneous entry and bone access
• Drilling tool
• Balloon and balloon inflator
• Bone cement and its delivery system (filler)
• Peripheral equipment including guide pin and introducer (cannula)
