Summary: This retrospective analysis of insurance claims examined trends in prescription fills among patients with vertebral compression fractures who underwent balloon kyphoplasty or vertebroplasty. Nearly half of patients with evidence of opioid use reduced or discontinued their prescription fills after surgery, leading to decreased payer costs.

Summary: Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures are a common consequence of osteoporosis and a major healthcare crisis worldwide. The management of these fractures requires pain management and fracture stabilization. A meta-analysis compared vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty in terms of clinical outcomes for these fractures.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the risk of sandwich vertebral fractures in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures via percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP). The study found that PVP had a higher risk of sandwich vertebral fractures compared to PKP, potentially due to the larger amount of bone cement, higher rate of cement leakage, and larger Cobb angle.

Summary: This study compared vertebral augmentation surgeries with other therapies for cancer-related vertebral compression fractures through meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials, demonstrating a statistically significant pain relief effect. Vertebral augmentation surgeries, such as vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty, showed better outcomes compared to nonsurgical management, radiofrequency ablation, or chemotherapy alone.

Summary: The aim of this study was to evaluate the radiological, clinical, and functional outcomes of patients with osteoporotic vertebral body fractures treated with Balloon Kyphoplasty and Vertebroplasty. The study found that percutaneous vertebroplasty had shorter operative time and lower cost compared to balloon kyphoplasty. The postoperative outcomes were similar between the two procedures.

Summary: This study compared the efficacy of vertebral augmentation therapy and conservative management for treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (VCFs). It found that surgical treatment provided earlier pain relief without an increased risk of new or adjacent fractures. The progression of treated fractures was significantly lower in the surgical group, although the hospital stay was longer compared to the conservative treatment group.

Summary: This study simulated finite element models of osteoporotic compression fractures treated with different surgical methods and found that the VS model achieved higher surgical vertebra stiffness without significantly increasing the risks of adjacent fractures.

Summary: In comparison to NSM, the study shows that VP/BKP can reduce the 12-month risk of all-cause mortality and morbidity in patients with OVCFs by 19% and 36%, respectively. Furthermore, VP/BKP reduces the 12-month risk of infection from any origin by 77%.

Summary: The objective of this study was to investigate the mid-term to long-term effects of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and balloon kyphoplasty (BK) on the structural integrity of augmented vertebrae. A total of 351 patients who underwent BK and PVP for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures between 2010 and 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. The results showed that the height loss of augmented vertebral bodies in mid-to long term was not prevented by BK.

Summary: A nomogram was developed to predict NVCFs after vertebral augmentation in patients with OVCFs. The model showed good discrimination and calibration in both the training and validation cohorts, providing a useful tool for identifying high-risk patients for postoperative VCFs. Postoperative management strategies should be considered for patients identified as high risk by this nomogram.

Summary: This study compared the outcomes of PVP-HVC and PKP for the treatment of OVCF. The results showed that PVP-HVC was superior to PKP in terms of risk of cement leakage and operation time. However, TSA analysis suggested that more evidence is needed to confirm the reduction in leakage. PKP resulted in a significant decrease in Cobb's angles postoperatively. There were no significant differences between the two procedures in terms of injected cement volume, VAS, ODI, and risk of adjacent vertebral fractures.

Summary: The meta-analysis suggests that facet joint block may be considered as a complementary treatment for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF), but it may not be effectively used as an alternative therapy.

Summary: Based on a comprehensive analysis of large samples, vertebral augmentation has been shown to significantly reduce the mortality risk associated with OVCFs, particularly in the early stages following fractures. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that KP is more reliable and effective than VP in terms of mitigating mortality risk.

Summary: This study investigates the incidence and risk factors of vertebral re-fracture after percutaneous vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty. The results suggest that female sex, older age, lower bone mineral density, and bone cement leakages increase the risk of re-fracture. The occurrence of re-fracture is significantly associated with gender, age, and bone mineral density in Eastern Asia. Anterior-to-posterior vertebral body height ratio and visual analog scale score are higher in the refracture group, while kyphotic angle correction ratio is smaller in Eastern Asia. Anti-osteoporosis treatment may serve as a protective factor.
