VERTEBROPLASTY TECHNIQUE Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A61B17/00 A61B17/56 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: compression spine is imaged preoperatively above and below the arranged spines. The prepared image is used to measure along an anterior periphery of spines in the sagittal plane a vertebral body height above the compression spine, h_a, a vertebral body height below the compression spine, h_b, a compression vertebral spine height h_k, a length of the destroyed segment of the compression spine m. The compression spine dimensions d₁ and d₂ in the middle portion are measured in an axial plane taking into account that the vertebral body is shaped as an elliptic cylinder, wherein d₁ is its greater semi-axis, d₂ is a smaller one; a cement amount is calculated by formula wherein h=(h_a+h_b)/2-h_k).

EFFECT: more accurate determination of the introduced bone cement amount that provides higher quality of patient's treatment.
