You just injected cement which has the potential to push tumor into soft tissues such as nerve roots, and push tumor cells into the bloodstream? The more viscous the cement the higher that risk. A balloon would make this even worse, I've seen cases with tumors firmly pushed into the spinal cord. Why did you not do an ablation first and create space, even if the patient has general mets?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-126852961571725269.post-33808820086233145912012-01-09T19:13:26.819-08:002012-01-09T19:13:26.819-08:00I can use the CareFusion needle and get through on...I can use the CareFusion needle and get through one pedicle as well and complete the same tumor case for half the priceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-126852961571725269.post-69166599124907901582012-01-09T19:11:05.831-08:002012-01-09T19:11:05.831-08:00Osseon might have its place but they lack the mana...Osseon might have its place but they lack the management to be successful!

Posterior wall was also breached.<br /><br />Entering from the only pedicle intact I could reach the tumour and inject some cement inside the tumour and the patient was pain free. Now only osseon offered that technology.<br /><br />Therefore, I would say osseon has a place in VCF technology which is unique and directional needle has its place.

As a result I will not have them used on any of my family. Don't worry, given your posts I know you will question that too. In the final analysis it does not matter as thanks to Kyphon, NEJM and the AAOS the treatment of VCFs has become completely politicized. The only good thing that came out of the whole mess is that it provided the most clear indication yet that even the NEJM is ultimately motivated by political considerations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-126852961571725269.post-31228285155069540142012-01-08T20:02:13.594-08:002012-01-08T20:02:13.594-08:002.57 PM The dude in the hat gave you a break.
