@drramirachkidi: Many patients mistakenly believe that injecting medical cement into a fractured vertebra is just a simple back injection similar to an epidural. Dr. Rami Rachkidi explains that while bone cement injection is a highly effective procedure, it is still a surgical intervention with its own set of risks. For the majority of spinal compression fractures caused by osteoporosis bone thinning, a specialized back brace corset remains the primary, non-invasive, and highly effective first line of treatment to allow the vertebra to heal naturally. . . . . . #SpineSurgery #Kyphoplasty #Orthopedics #BackPainRelief #drramirachkidi
