Incidence of fracture in adjacent levels in patients treated with balloon kyphoplasty: a review of the literature. [PDF]
The available evidence suggests that the treatment of painful vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) secondary to osteoporosis or multiple myeloma, by cement augmentation with balloon kyphoplasty (BK), is both safe and effective.

Vertebro-/Kyphoplasty History, Development, Results [PDF]
Many investigations prove the significant analgetic effect of vertebral augmentation. The reasons for the decrease in pain are found in the stabilization of fracture fragments as well as the toxic-thermic effect of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), used in ...

ABSTRACT Purpose Spinal metastases may cause pain, neurological compromise, paraplegia, and limb movement disorders; their management requires a comprehensive approach. Alongside systemic anti‐tumor therapies, focal interventions such as radiotherapy, bone‐modifying agents, and surgery are crucial for slowing disease progression and managing pain in ...

Kyphoplasty for treatment of osteoporotic vertebral fractures: a prospective non-randomized study [PDF]
Background: Minimally invasive augmentation techniques of vertebral bodies have been advocated to treat osteoporotic vertebral body compression fractures (VBCFs). Kyphoplasty is designed to address both fracture-related pain as well as kyphotic deformity

Experimental results demonstrate that both solid bone cement blocks and bone cement in a dispersed state within bone tissue can be screwed in after thermal softening of the bone cement through Kirschner wires, achieving a good pull‐out resistance. ABSTRACT Objective Vertebroplasty with non‐degradable polymethyl methacrylate bone cement is a common ...

Oliceridine for Analgesia in Elderly Patients Undergoing Kyphoplasty: From a Clinical Trial
Background As a G protein‐biased μ‐opioid receptor agonist, oliceridine can offer a relatively effective and safe analgesia. However, its effect on patients suffering from kyphoplasty was unexplored. Aim This study was aimed to determine the median effective dose (ED50) of oliceridine for analgesia during kyphoplasty in elderly patients across ...
