Abstract
|
|
|
Study Design : Review of the literature.
Objectives : To present updated information on percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA) for osteoporotic spinal fractures (OSFs).
Summary of Literature Review : Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty have been used to treat osteoporotic spinal fractures for many years. A recent meta-analysis provides strong evidence in favor of cement augmentation in the treatment of symptomatic vertebral compression fractures.
Materials and Methods : Review of the relevant literature.
Results : A meta-analysis showed greater pain relief, functional recovery, and improvement in quality of life with cement augmentation compared with control subjects.
Conclusions : Percutaneous vertebral augmentation of osteoporotic spinal fractures results in shorter hospital stays, reduced incidence of complications, and more rapid return of functional independence.
