New Technologies: Novel Vertebroplasty Materials
18
CERAMENT™ Bi-Phasic Ceramic Bone Substitute:- Enhances the bulk of cancellous bone:- - Biologically - Biomechanically
19
Bio-Material Characteristics 60 wt % α-calcium sulfate hemihydrate (CaS) 40 wt % hydroxyapatite (HA) High injectability allows for minimal invasive delivery and ensures good intraosseal spread Iohexol-based radio-opacity enhancing component (liquid) Makes the material visible under fluoroscopy Short term strength Resorbable during 6- 12 months CaS Long term support Highly osteoconductive HA
20
CERAMENT™ U.S.A. Pilot Results 90% of 20 patients treated have complete pain relief Pain improved from VAS 8.5 av. pre-op to 1.8 av. at one week 17 patients at 6 months with av. VAS of 1.2 16 patients at 12 months with av. VAS of 0.6 One adjacent level fractures to date 11 months post-surgery
21
At 12 weeks, there is extensive new bone formation, cement resorption, and cement incorporation in the bi-phasic ceramic-filled defect CRITICAL DEFECT IN RABBIT Empty Bi-Phasic Ceramic C C nB
