Risk factors for newly developed osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures following treatment for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures

Spine Journal, 2019
It has been reported that newly developed osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) occur at a relatively high frequency after treatment. While there are many reports on possible risk factors, these have not yet been clearly established.The purpose of this study was to investigate the risk factors for newly developed OVCFs after treatment by

Classification of Vertebral Compression Fractures in the Osteoporotic Spine

Journal of Spinal Disorders & Techniques, 2005
The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship between initial radiographs of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) and clinical results.Of the 135 VCFs in the elderly, 73 consecutive patients (84 vertebrae) were reviewed retrospectively. All patients were treated without rigid immobilization.

Vertebral Augmentation for Osteoporotic Compression Fractures

Journal of Clinical Densitometry, 2016
Vertebral augmentation procedures such as vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty were developed to reduce pain and improve quality of life for patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. However, the use of vertebral augmentation has been debated and questioned since its inception. This article addresses some of these issues.

Balloon kyphoplasty in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures

Expert Review of Medical Devices, 2012
Balloon kyphoplasty (BKP) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure indicated for treatment of painful vertebral compression fractures. During BKP, cannulae are placed percutaneously into the vertebral body, allowing insertion of inflatable balloons.
