Treating patients with vertebral fractures... First, the patient is given a local anesthetic. Then using a technique called percutaneous vertebroplasty, a needle is inserted into the spine at the area of the fracture. Doctors use imaging techniques, such as CT scanning and fluoroscopy, to guide placement of the needle during the procedure. Under continued radiographic guidance, the methyl methacrylate is slowly injected into the vertebral space. Then, the needle is withdrawn. Shortly after injection, the epoxy hardens within the spine. 3, record 10, English, - percutaneous%20vertebroplasty

Kyphoplasty is a newer treatment for patients immobilized by the painful vertebral body compression fractures associated with osteoporosis. Like vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that can alleviate up to 90% of the pain caused by compression fractures. In addition to relieving pain, kyphoplasty can also stabilize the fracture, restore height, and reduce deformity.... Kyphoplasty is performed under local or general anesthesia. Using image guidance x-rays, two small incisions are made and a probe is placed into the vertebral space where the fracture is located. The bone is drilled and a balloon, called a bone tamp, is inserted on each side. These balloons are then inflated with contrast medium(to be seen using image guidance x-rays) until they expand to the desired height and removed. The balloon does not remain in the patient. It simply creates a cavity for the cement and also helps expand the compressed bone. The spaces created by the balloons are then filled with PMMA [poly(methyl methacrylate) ], the same orthopaedic cement used in vertebroplasty, binding the fracture. The cement hardens quickly, providing strength and stability to the vertebra, restoring height, and relieving pain. 1, record 11, English, - kyphoplasty

À la différence de la vertébroplastie, la cyphoplastie est caractérisée par l'utilisation de ballonnets avant l'injection de ciment. Les ballonnets sont insérés dégonflés dans la vertèbre à traiter. Les ballonnets sont ensuite gonflés avec un produit de contraste radio-opaque. Les ballonnets repoussent l'os spongieux fracturé sur les bords de la vertèbre tassée et créent ainsi une cavité au sein du corps vertébral. Un manomètre digital permet au radiologue de contrôler la pression interne des ballonnets. Lorsque la pression maximale est atteinte, une phase de maintien de la pression permet de créer la cavité, puis les ballonnets sont dégonflés et retirés. Un ciment acrylique visqueux PMMA [poly(méthacrylate de méthyle)] est alors injecté à basse pression dans la cavité. 1, record 11, French, - cyphoplastie

Resin impression tray material is a device intended for use in a two-step dental mold fabricating process. The device consists of a resin material, such as methyl methacrylate, and is used to form a custom impression tray for use in cases in which a preformed impression tray is not suitable, such as the fabrication of crowns, bridges, or full dentures. A preliminary plaster or stone model of the patient's teeth and gums is made. The resin impression tray material is applied to this preliminary study model to form a custom tray. This tray is then filled with impression material and inserted into the patient's mouth to make an impression, from which a final, more precise, model of the patient's mouth is cast. 1, record 12, English, - custom%20impression%20tray
