cement augmentation

Cement augmentation is a medical procedure used to strengthen bones, particularly in cases of fractures or osteoporosis. During the procedure, a special medical cement is injected into the affected bone to stabilize it and provide additional support. This helps reduce pain, improve stability, and facilitate healing or function. The technique is often used in the spine (vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty) but can also be applied to other bones. It is a minimally invasive procedure performed by a specialist using imaging guidance to ensure precise placement of the cement.
