Height restoration of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures using different intravertebral reduction devices: a cadaveric study

摘要

BACKGROUND: The treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures using transpedicular cement augmentation has grown significantly during the past two decades. Balloon kyphoplasty was developed to restore vertebral height and improve sagittal alignment. Several studies have shown these theoretical improvements cannot be transferred universally to the clinical setting.
