Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty for the Treatment of Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fractures

Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2014
Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty have been used to treat osteoporotic compression fractures for many years. In 2009, two randomized controlled trials demonstrated limited effectiveness of vertebroplasty over sham treatment; thus, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons published evidence-based guidelines recommending "against vertebroplasty for ...
