About 6 months ago, I asked Drs. Jensen and Hirsch to put together this Special Collection on vertebral augmentation.

Little did all of us know that destiny would “throw us a curve ball” on August 6, when the New England Journal of Medicine published the now famous (or infamous?) articles that attempted to debunk vertebroplasty as treatment for painful osteoporotic spinal fractures. Although these articles by Buchbinder et al and Kallmes et al were prospective and randomized ones, their design is not without flaws and they have elicited a considerable amount of controversy.
