TLDR
Both treatments of OVCF showed successful clinical results at the end of the 1-year follow-up period, and prompt kyphoplasty should not be indicated in the case of a patient with OVCFs that has no risk factors for failure with conservative treatment.About:

Percutaneous Vertebroplasty Versus Conservative Treatment in Aged Patients With Acute Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fractures: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Clinical Study.
Er-Zhu Yang,Jian-Guang Xu,Gao-Zhong Huang,Wen-Zhen Xiao,Xiao-Kang Liu,Bing-Fang Zeng,Xiao-Feng Lian +6 more
TL;DR: In aged patients with acute OVCF and severe pain, early vertebroplasty yielded faster, better pain relief and improved functional outcomes, which were maintained for 1 year, and it showed fewer complications than conservative treatment.

Diagnosis and Management of Vertebral Compression Fractures.
Jason McCarthy,Amy Davis +1 more
TL;DR: Family physicians can help prevent vertebral fractures through management of risk factors and the treatment of osteoporosis and other conservative therapeutic options include limited bed rest, bracing, physical therapy, nerve root blocks, and epidural injections.

Osteoporotic Thoracolumbar Fractures-How Are They Different?-Classification and Treatment Algorithm.
Shanmuganathan Rajasekaran,Rishi Mugesh Kanna,K. J. Schnake,Alexander R. Vaccaro,Gregory D. Schroeder,Said Sadiqi,Cumhur Oner +6 more
TL;DR: Osteoporotic vertebral fractures constitute at least 50% of the osteoporosis fractures that happen worldwide and increases the morbidity due to kyphosis and pain; the mortality risk is also increased in these patients.

Risks and benefits of percutaneous vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty in the management of osteoporotic vertebral fractures
TL;DR: The aim of this paper is to review the randomized controlled trials comparing the efficacy and safety of percutaneous vertebroplasty (VP) and per cutaneous balloon kyphoplasty (KP) versus conservative treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Controversial Issues in Kyphoplasty and Vertebroplasty in Osteoporotic Vertebral Fractures
TL;DR: This review resolves the controversial issues raised by the two randomized trials that claimed no difference between VP and SHAM procedure and concludes that VP and KP are superior to NSM in clinical and radiological parameters and probably more cost-effective.

Risk factors for falls among elderly persons living in the community.
TL;DR: It is concluded that falls among older persons living in the community are common and that a simple clinical assessment can identify the elderly persons who are at the greatest risk of falling.

Randomised trial of effect of alendronate on risk of fracture in women with existing vertebral fractures
Dennis M. Black,Steven R. Cummings,David B. Karpf,Jane A. Cauley,Desmond E. Thompson,Michael C. Nevitt,Douglas C. Bauer,Harry K. Genant,William L. Haskell,Robert Marcus,Susan M. Ott,James C. Torner,Sara A. Quandt,Theodore F. Reiss,Kristine E. Ensrud +14 more
TL;DR: Among women with low bone mass and existing vertebral fractures, alendronate is well tolerated and substantially reduces the frequency of morphometric and clinical vertebra fractures, as well as other clinical fractures.

Vertebral fracture assessment using a semiquantitative technique
TL;DR: The semiquantitative approach can be applied reliably in vertebral fracture assessment when performed using well‐defined criteria, and this approach was compared with a quantitative morpho‐metric approach.

TL;DR: The data indicate that women who develop a vertebral fracture are at substantial risk for additional fracture within the next year, and the presence of prevalent vertebral fractures increases this risk.
