A Comparison of Kyphoplasty Vertebroplasty or Non-Surgical Treatment of Traumatic/Atraumatic Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fractures: A Short Review

摘要

Background:Although the majority of patients with traumatic/atraumatic osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) may be managed with non-surgical treatment (NST), a subset (e.g. 40%) with significant pain, loss of vertebral height, and other factors may warrant percutaneous vertebroplasty (V), or percutaneous kyphoplasty (K).
