Biomechanical in vitro comparison of radiofrequency kyphoplasty and balloon kyphoplasty

European Spine Journal, 2017
Balloon kyphoplasty (BK) has emerged as a popular method for treating osteoporosis vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs). In response to several shortcomings of BK, alternative methods have been introduced, among which is radiofrequency kyphoplasty (RFK). Biomechanical comparisons of BK and RFK are very sparse.

Balloon kyphoplasty

Oncology Times UK, 2010
Kyphoplasty is a reliable, minimally invasive method to stabilize fractured vertebral bodies. Under economic aspects kyphoplasty seems advantageous compared with conservative treatment in patients with osteoporotic fractures as well as in younger persons after traumatic spine fractures.

Is There an Indication for Prophylactic Balloon Kyphoplasty?

Clinical Orthopaedics & Related Research, 2007
Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are associated with a recurrent fracture rate of 2.4% to 23%, which is lower than the general natural history of untreated osteoporotic fractures. Some authors suggest the risk of refracture at adjacent vertebra will be reduced by prophylactic stabilization.
