Vertebral Augmentation for Osteoporotic Compression Fractures
2005Osteoporosis is a systemic disease currently afflicting approx 44 million Americans; this figure will increase as the population ages. It results in progressive bone mineral loss and concurrent changes in bony architecture that leave bone vulnerable to fracture, often after minimal or no trauma.

Conservative Care for Patients with Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fractures
Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinics of North America, 2007As the aging population grows, vertebral compression fractures are becoming an important source of pain and dysfunction. Management can be complex, because care may require multiple treatment modalities and the treatment plan must be tailored to the individual's pain, functional limitations, and goals. Treatment options usually involve a combination of

Vertebral Body Augmentation in Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fractures
2013The procedures of vertebral body augmentation consist of the introduction of substances, which are sometimes associated with metallic devices, into the vertebral body to increase its strength and stiffness when these mechanical properties are decreased as a result of fractures, primary tumors, or metastases.

Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty for the Treatment of Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fractures
Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2014Vertebroplasty 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 ...

Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty for the Management of Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fractures
Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 2007Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures have previously been treated nonoperatively given the tremendous morbidity associated with open fixation in elderly patients who often have multiple medical comorbidities. With the advent of percutaneous vertebral augmentation techniques, these fractures can now be stabilized using minimally invasive ...

Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fracture Causing Neurologic Deficit
JCR: Journal of Clinical Rheumatology, 2002Osteoporotic vertebral fractures rarely cause neurologic deficits. We discuss a 69-year-old man who presented with the signs of impaired function of the left L5 nerve root. Imaging revealed a fracture of the posterior upper edge of the fifth lumbar vertebra with a bony fragment protruding into the spinal canal.

RManagement of osteoporotic compression vertebral fractures.
Acta orthopaedica Belgica, 2018Pathological vertebral fractures including osteoporotic compression fractures are common problems with an incidence which increases as the age of the population increases. The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcome of percutaneous vertebroplasty in patients with refractory pathological fractures.
