چکیده
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 evidence based outcomes and complications were disscussed.

Current status of percutaneous vertebroplasty and percutaneous kyphoplasty – a review
Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PV) and kyphoplasty (PK) are the 2vertebral augmentation procedures that have emerged as minimally invasive surgical options to treat painful vertebral compression fractures (VCF) during the last 2 decades. VCF may either be osteoporotic or tumor-associated. Two hundred million women are affected by osteoporosis globally. Vertebral fracture may result in acute pain ...
متن کاملBiomechanical effects of different vertebral heights after augmentation of osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture: a three-dimensional finite element analysis
BACKGROUND Clinical results have shown that different vertebral heights have been restored post-augmentation of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) and the treatment results are consistent. However, no significant results regarding biomechanical effects post-augmentation have been found with different types of vertebral deformity or vertebral heights by biomechanical analysis. ...

متن کاملPercutaneous Vertebroplasty in Iranian Patients with Osteoporotic Vertebral Fractures
Background: Osteoporotic compression vertebral fractures are common clinical problems. In those with refractory fractures, percutaneous cement augmentation has been suggested. The aim of this study was to evaluate the functional outcome of percutaneous vertebroplasty in Iranian patients with refractory osteoporotic fractures. Methods: We retrospectively studied 37 osteoporotic fractures in 28 p...
