Percutaneous Vertebroplasty or Kyphoplasty

open access: yesRadiologic Clinics of North America, 2010
Percutaneous vertebral augmentation techniques performed with vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty are safe and effective for the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, primary or secondary spine tumors, and selected traumatic fractures. This article compares the procedures and outlines their advantages and disadvantages. It concludes that

Kyphoplasty

Techniques in Vascular and Interventional Radiology, 2002
Kyphoplasty is a relatively new procedure that is indicated for the treatment of osteoporotic or pathologic compression fractures of the thoracic and/or lumbar spine. This minimally invasive procedure requires imaging guidance. Kyphoplasty entails the inflation of a balloon tamp, prior to the injection of opacified acrylic bone cement, within the ...

Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty

Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 2006
Percutaneous vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty provide minimally invasive options for the management of osteoporotic and osteolytic vertebral compression fractures. These techniques provide substantial pain relief and support without requiring long periods of recumbency, and have an acceptable complication rate.

Kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty

Current Pain and Headache Reports, 2008
Percutaneous vertebroplasty is the injection of a vertebral compression fracture (VCF) with bone cement, generally polymethylmethacrylate. Percutaneous kyphoplasty is the placement of balloons into the vertebral body with an inflation/deflation sequence to create a cavity before the cement injection.

Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty

Anesthesiology Clinics, 2007
Vertebral compression fractures occur more frequently than hip and ankle fractures combined. These fragility fractures frequently result in both acute and chronic pain, but more importantly are a source of increased morbidity and possibly mortality. Percutaneous veretebral augmentation offers a minimally invasive approach for the treatment of vertebral

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.
