“…Osteoporosis affects over 10,000,000 people worldwide and results in extensive public health and economic burdens. Vertebral compression fractures occur commonly in aging populations, with a reported annual incidence of 750,000 in the USA [14]. PVP has been considered to be one of the treatments that can be used for pain relief, improvements in quality of life, and restoration of vertebral height.…”

“…PVP has been considered to be one of the treatments that can be used for pain relief, improvements in quality of life, and restoration of vertebral height. The incidence of PVP was increasing in previous literature, and it could cause significant socioeconomic burdens such as hospitalization and insurance costs [14]. Therefore, it could be of importance to evaluate the long-term effects of PVP for cost-effectiveness concerns.…”

Background: Vertebral compression fractures, resulting in significant pain and disability, commonly occur in elderly osteoporotic patients. However, the current literature lacks long-term follow-up information related to image parameters and bone formation following vertebroplasty. Purpose: To evaluate new bone formation after vertebroplasty and the long-term effect of vertebroplasty. Methods: A total of 157 patients with new osteoporotic compression fractures who underwent vertebroplasty were retrospectively analyzed. The image parameters, including wedge angles, compression ratios, global alignment, and new bone formation, were recorded before and after vertebroplasty up to three years postoperatively. Results: The wedge angle improved and was maintained for 12 months. The compression ratios also improved but gradually deteriorated during the follow-up period. New bone formation was found in 40% of the patients at 36 months, and the multivariate analysis showed that this might have been related to the correction of the anterior compression ratio. Conclusions: Vertebroplasty significantly restored the wedge angles and compression ratios up to one year postoperatively, and new bone formation was noted on plain radiographs, which increased over time. Last, the restoration of vertebral parameters may contribute to new bone formation.

“…RCTs could influence the trend of a specific surgical procedure. For example, in 2009, two RCTs published in the USA changed the trend of vertebroplasty worldwide [86]. Therefore, providing high-quality evidence on rotator cuff disease could help surgeons improve their skills and patient outcomes.…”

The aim of this analysis was to assess the quality of reporting of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) relating to pain management in rotator cuff (RC) tears. This review evaluated the quality of the studies in the literature regarding this topic through the use of some factors and trends. The online databases used to search all RCTs on the topic of RC surgery were Medline, Scopus, CINAHL, EMBASE, and CENTRAL. This research was completed in September 2020. To assess the quality of reports, the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) and the modified Coleman methodology score (MCMS) were used. From the research, 262 articles emerged. Finally, 79 studies were included in this historical analysis. There were no statistically significant changes in MCMS across trials that included or did not include a CONSORT diagram (p = 0.10). A statistically significant difference in MCMS was discovered between papers produced prior to 2009 and publications produced after 2015 (p = 0.03). There was no association between the number of checklist items for each article and the Coleman score. During the years there has been a significant increase in both quantity and quality of RCTs relating to pain in RC tears.

Kyphoplasty: why, when and how?

Introduction: Percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) aims to restore vertebral shape and kyphotic spine angulation, reduce pain, and allow the patient early mobilization. Compared with percutaneous vertebroplasty (PV), PKP has been reported to reduce cement leakage, increase short-term pain relief, and improve kyphotic angle restoration. In addition, PKP has been shown to be a safe and effective method for treating non-responsive pain in osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, and to allow shorter hospitalizations. This paper aims to review the current state of PKP, looking at the procedure itself, its use and complications, and how it compares with PV. Surgical procedure: Precise placement of the inflatable balloons is required, and multiple processes must be completed before injecting the cement. A working cannula is inserted through the posterior wall of the vertebral body using a trans or parapedicular approach. Then, the balloons are inserted and inflated. Finally, the balloons are gradually removed, and polymethylmethacrylate is delivered through a blunt cannula. PKP has the same surgical indications and complications as PV. The main contraindications to PKP are unmanageable bleeding disorders, asymptomatic vertebral body fracture, allergy to bone cement, tumor mass with involvement of the spinal canal, unstable fractures or complete vertebral collapse, and neurological symptoms. Conclusion: PKP and PV are both effective treatments for individuals with painful, acute compression fractures that have failed to respond to conventional treatment.
