TLDR
Edema (high intensity signal) on short tau inversion recovery (STIR) was evidenced in all OVCF patients who experienced symptoms for less than nine months and was associated with correction of deformity.Abstract:
Background
Previous clinical studies have shown the safety and effectiveness of balloon kyphoplasty in the treatment of pathological vertebral compression fractures (VCFs). However, they have not dealt with the impact of relatively common comorbid conditions in this age group, such as spinal stenosis, and they have not explicitly addressed the use of imaging as a prognostic indicator for the restoration of vertebral body height. Neither have these studies dealt with management and technical problems related to surgery, nor the effectiveness of bone biopsy during the same surgical procedure. This is a prospective study comparing preoperative and postoperative vertebral body heights, kyphotic deformities, pain intensity (using visual analogue scale) and quality of life (Oswestry disability questionnaire) in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) and osteolytic vertebral tumors treated with balloon kyphoplasty.read more

Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty: a systematic review of 69 clinical studies.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the safety and efficacy of vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty with respect to patient pain relief, restoration of mobility and vertebral body height, complication rate, and incidence of new adjacent vertebral fractures.

TL;DR: These guidelines include the evaluation of evidence for diagnostic and therapeutic treatment recommendations for chronic spinal pain, and the accuracy of facet joint nerve blocks is strong in the diagnosis of lumbar and cervical facet joint pain, whereas, it is moderate in the Diagnostic Accuracy Studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of vertebroplasty and balloon kyphoplasty for treatment of vertebral compression fractures: a meta-analysis of the literature.
TL;DR: Vertebroplasty had a significantly greater improvement in pain scores but also had statistically greater risk of cement leakage and new fracture, while kyphoplasty provided significant improvement in VAS pain scores.

TL;DR: Bone metastases represent a frequent complication especially of follicular thyroid cancer and severely reduce the quality of life causing pain, fractures, and spinal cord compression and should be employed.

TL;DR: Although evidence suggests that physical disability, general health, and pain relief are better with VP and KP than those with medical management within the first 3 months after intervention, high-quality randomized trials with 2-year follow-up are needed to confirm this.

Preliminary note on the treatment of vertebral angioma by percutaneous acrylic vertebroplasty
TL;DR: Findings in several cases are used to demonstrate that certain vertebral angiomas may not be congenital and can ultimately provoke medullary or radicular neurologic complications.

The worldwide problem of osteoporosis: insights afforded by epidemiology.
B.L. Riggs,Lee J. Melton +1 more
TL;DR: The incidence of hip fracture, and, presumably, other osteoporotic fractures will increase four-fold worldwide during the next 50 years and the attendant costs will threaten the viability of the healthcare systems of many countries.
Journal ArticleDOI
New technologies in spine: kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty for the treatment of painful osteoporotic compression fractures.
TL;DR: Kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty are new techniques that help decrease the pain and improve function in fractured vertebrae by realigning the spinal column and regaining height of the broken vertebra, which may help decrease pulmonary, GI and early morbidity consequences related to these fractures.

TL;DR: Women with radiographic evidence of vertebral fractures have an increased mortality rate, particularly from pulmonary disease and cancer, and causes of death associated with vertebra fractures are described.

Initial outcome and efficacy of kyphoplasty in the treatment of painful osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures
TL;DR: Kyphoplasty is associated with early clinical improvement of pain and function as well as restoration of vertebral body height in the treatment of painful osteoporotic compression fractures.
