ABSTRACT
STUDY DESIGN:
Review of the literature.OBJECTIVES:
To present updated information on percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA) for osteoporotic spinal fractures (OSFs). SUMMARY OF LITERATURE REVIEW Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty have been used to treat osteoporotic spinal fractures for many years. A recent meta-analysis provides strong evidence in favor of cement augmentation in the treatment of symptomatic vertebral compression fractures. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Review of the relevant literature.RESULTS:
A meta-analysis showed greater pain relief, functional recovery, and improvement in quality of life with cement augmentation compared with control subjects.CONCLUSIONS:
Percutaneous vertebral augmentation of osteoporotic spinal fractures results in shorter hospital stays, reduced incidence of complications, and more rapid return of functional independence.
