“…The role of vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty in the treatment of high energy vertebral fractures is not still well defined, although good results with regard pain relief and quality of life have been reported using both procedures [22,23] . In young patients it has been suggested the use of biological cement, instead of PPMA, due to its capacity of integrating with bone [24] .…”

The aim of this review is to compare the effectiveness of percutaneous vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty to treat pain and improve functional outcome from vertebral fractures secondary to osteoporosis and tumor conditions. In 2009, two open randomized controlled trials published in the New England Journal of Medicine questioned the value of vertebroplasty in treating vertebral compression fractures. Nevertheless, the practice of physicians treating these conditions has barely changed. The objective of this review is to try to clarify the most important issues, based on our own experience and the reported evidence about both techniques, and to guide towards the most appropriate choice of treatment of vertebral fractures, although many questions still remain unanswered.

“…The study was approved by the local institutional review board before its initiation. Some of the patient data collected in this study have been included in previous projects completed at this institution 3,7 ; however, this patient cohort has never been studied in regard to VP and discharge disposition. Data concerning patient demographics, hospitalization, and procedural details were collected from electronic medical records.…”

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:A variety of factors, such as pain level at rest and with activity, have been used to assess outcome of the VP procedure. However, few studies have assessed discharge disposition as a reflection of VP efficacy in the inpatient population. The purpose of this study was to compare patient disposition status before and after VP and determine what relationship exists between the treatment and patient discharge status.

“…Many of the patients in the current study have been included in prior vertebroplasty studies (18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35). Specifically, a number of these prior studies have analyzed pain palliation following single-level vertebroplasty (30) and fracture rate following vertebroplasty (29,33,34), similar to this study.…”
