Abstract
|
|
|
|
Percutaneous vertebroplasty and balloon kyphoplasty are both safe and effective procedures in case of patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. The authors have already reported a new technique called lordoplasty using polymethylmethacrylate to manage vertebral osteoporotic compression fractures. The purpose and indication of lordoplasty do not differ from that of percutaneous vertebroplasty or balloon kyphoplasty. However, there are advantages of lordoplasty in terms of restoration of the wedge and kyphotic angle and cost-effectiveness compared with the other procedures mentioned above. For the advantages of lordoplasty, authors thereby introduce the detailed procedure of lordoplasty.
