Pulmonary Cement Embolism during Cement Augmentation of Pedicle Screw Fixation: A Case Report

Pulmonary Cement Embolism during Cement Augmentation of Pedicle Screw Fixation: A Case Report

We present a case of pulmonary cement embolism during cement augmentation of pedicle screw fixation for severe degenerative scoliosis. During intra-operative C-arm fluoroscopy, a radio-opaque substance was incidentally noted to pulsate in synchrony with the patient's heartbeat. A diagnosis of p...
