The First Kyrgyzstan Case of Angled Vertebroplasty

Kyrgyzstan is an important country along the Belt and Road, maintaining close ties with China and engaging in frequent exchanges in medical activities. The angled vertebral augmentation device brought by Huake Run this time is also among the most advanced orthopedic instruments available domestically.

July 15: Our delegation met with the Director of the Kyrgyz National Research Center for Traumatology and Orthopedics to exchange views on the development of minimally invasive spinal surgery, particularly vertebroplasty, in both countries. We briefed the Director on the features and clinical application of our angled vertebroplasty instrument, and the Director expressed willingness to be the first in Kyrgyzstan to adopt the PCVP product.

Following the meeting, hospital staff escorted the delegation on a tour of the hospital’s wards, treatment rooms, and other facilities, and visited patients awaiting surgery.

The attending physician presented the patient’s basic clinical information and diagnostic findings. Based on the medical history and imaging data provided by the patient, our team offered a different perspective, concluding that the condition was a relatively rare case of nonunion following an old osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture—Kummell’s disease—rather than the hospital’s initial diagnosis of an intravertebral hemangioma. Adhering to a scientifically rigorous, patient-centered approach that prioritizes life and safety, our team promptly transmitted the patient’s medical records and other relevant materials back to China for consultation with domestic experts, who ultimately confirmed our diagnosis. Following this endorsement from Chinese specialists, our team further compiled comprehensive documentation on Kummell’s disease and engaged in detailed discussions with Director Sabyrbek A. Djumabekov and other senior physicians at the hospital. Our meticulous and responsible attitude was duly recognized by the hospital administration, and the clinical competence and professional standards of our staff were also commended.

At 10:00 a.m. on the 16th, our team entered the operating room, where preoperative preparations had already been completed. At the invitation of the hospital president, Zhao Xiaosheng from the Marketing Department also joined the surgical team on stage. The new vertebral augmentation device further drew the attention of numerous local orthopedic surgeons, who came to observe the procedure. The angled vertebral augmentation instrument is easy to operate and enabled the entire surgery to be completed in just 30 minutes. Intraoperative imaging captured the entire surgical process, earning high praise from the hospital president and other colleagues.

Following the surgery, the hospital director stated in an interview with local media: “The curved-angle vertebral body augmentation device from China is a state-of-the-art instrument. With the support of Huake Run Company’s PCVP product, we were able to successfully perform a highly challenging procedure. Despite the complexity of the patient’s condition, the innovative technology of Huake Run’s product, combined with the meticulous and professional care provided by the surgical team, ensured a smooth and successful operation. The postoperative outcome is excellent: the patient experienced minimal trauma, with only a 4-mm incision and uniform distribution of bone cement. This new technique will undoubtedly benefit more citizens of Kyrgyzstan in the future.”

During a follow-up visit on the 18th, the hospital director stated that the patient has recovered well and has already been discharged. He emphasized the clear advantages of China’s kyphoplasty devices and expressed the hope that they will be widely adopted in Kyrgyzstan and many other countries.

On the 19th, our team departed for home, brimming with achievements. We are confident that more products from Huake Run will benefit humanity and contribute modestly to the advancement of medical technology.
