Unipedicular Baloon Kyphoplasty

چکیده
Dear Sir, The recent publication on unipedicular baloon kyphoplasty is very interesting [1]. It demonstrates that high seroprevalence could be seen [1]. La Maida et al. [1] found that “Both vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are effective in treating vertebral compression fracture due to multiple myeloma.” This is concordant with the biomechanical properties of the two techniques [2]. Hence, the selection of usage might be based on other factors. The interesting issue is the comparative cost between both techniques. Studying the cost effectiveness of each technique is worthwhile, and could be helpful for the selection of technique for kyphoplasty. REFERENCES

Aim. This report introduces extrapedicular infiltration anesthesia as an improved method of local anesthesia for unipedicular percutaneous vertebroplasty or percutaneous kyphoplasty. Method. From March 2015 to March 2016, 44 patients (11 males and 33 females) with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures with a mean age of 71.4 ± 8.8 years (range: 60 to 89) received percutaneous vertebropla...
متن کاملCurrent Concepts of Vertebral Augmentation
Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are relatively new minimally invasive methods to treat osteoporotic or pathologic vertebra fractures. Both technics are similar in principle whereas in kyphoplasty a baloon is introduced into the vertebra to restore the height loss. Currently there are severeral studies reporting the safety and efficacy of both methods and in this report technical nuances and evid...
متن کاملComparison between radiofrequency targeted vertebral augmentation and balloon kyphoplasty in the treatment of vertebral compression fractures: addressing factors that affect cement extravasation and distribution.
BACKGROUND Both vertebroplasty and balloon kyphoplasty have been described for treatment of vertebral compression fractures. Vertebroplasty is known for its high leakage rate compared with balloon kyphoplasty. In vitro studies have shown that high-viscosity cements significantly decrease the incidence of cement leakage and increase the predictability of cement fill in cancellous bonelike substr...
