ABSTRACT Vertebral augmentation using the SpineJack implant system (Stryker) is a minimally invasive spine procedure for treatment of patients with vertebral compression fractures.1 Careful procedural planning and imaging guidance allow safe and effective management of these patients. This management implies preprocedural imaging with measurement of the vertebral body length and pedicle width, which are essential for selection of the appropriate implant size.2,3 Implant kyphoplasty has been shown to significantly reduce pain, restore the vertebral height, and improve the local kyphotic angle, without major adverse events.3,4 It also offers the advantages of functional recovery and decreasing the refracture rates with overall an improved quality of life.5,6 This video article gives an overview of the indications, procedural considerations, and technical approach, as well as postprocedural care and patient outcomes with representative clinical images obtained from our experience.
