PMMA주입시 망상골의 골밀도와 영율의 상관관계에 대한 연구

Research of Correlation Apparent density with Young′s Modulus of Cancellous bone in Injection of PMMA

The compressed fracture of spine caused by osteoporosis is one of the most frequent diseases in bone fracture. Recently the vertebroplasty has drawn much attention as a medical treatment for the compressed fracture of spine, which strengthens the vertebral body and corrects deformity, and relieves pain in patients by injecting bone cement. The purpose of this research is to provide the theoretical background for the vertebroplasty by employing scientific methods and thus to find out the improvements of the conventional surgical method. By applying the engineering analysis tools to clinical study, new application fields can also be obtained
