Vertebral augmentation in osteoporotic fractures

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.injury.2007.08.016Get rights and content

Summary

Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures result in an enormous medical, social and economic burden to society. Here, we review osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, focusing on both their diagnosis and the treatment options, particularly vertebral augmentation.

      Spatially controlled induction of bone formation is required in many orthopedic and dental applications. These include the treatment of segmental diaphyseal bone defects [42], metaphyseal bone defects [43], vertebral compression fractures [44,45]), osteotomies [46,47], tooth extraction sockets to allow placement of dental implants [48,49], spinal arthrodesis [50–52]), or to treat non-unions [53,54]. Bone regeneration is achieved with the combination of appropriate surgical technique and autologous, allogenic, or xenogenic bone grafts, plant-derived bone graft materials, or synthetic bone graft substitutes [42,55,56].

      This condition mostly remains subclinical whilst it progresses gradually, but some patients will develop severe pain that limits their daily living activities and induces functional deterioration.1 For such patients who fail to respond to conservative treatment, percutaneous vertebroplasty (PV) provides an alternative treatment procedure.2 By injecting acrylic bone cement through the pedicle into a porotic and weakened or collapsed vertebral body, PV is a quick and effective method for treating vertebral osteoporotic compression fractures and some benign or malignant vertebral lesions that fail to respond to traditional conservative treatments.3–5
