BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Many authors have reported the increase in vertebral
body height after vertebroplasty; if the fractured vertebrae are mobile, we should be able to …

PURPOSE: To describe the property of latent mobility in osteoporotic vertebral compression
fractures (VCFs) and discuss its clinical significance. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Many authors have reported the increase in vertebral
body height after vertebroplasty. However, McKiernan et al demonstrated dynamic mobility …

We have observed that some osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) are
mobile. The purpose of this report was to document the existence of dynamic fracture …

Introduction Osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVF) can lead to late collapse which often
causes kyphotic spinal deformity, persistent back pain, decreased lung capacity, increased …

Objective To assess the value of bone scan imaging in determining painful vertebrae of
osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF s) patients with contraindications to …

Background Dynamic radiographs are recommended to investigate non-healing evidence
such as the dynamic mobility or intravertebral clefts in osteoporotic vertebral compression …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Patient selection for percutaneous vertebroplasty is often
complicated by the presence of multiple fractures or non-localizing pain. Our purpose was to …

Background Severely collapsed vertebral compression fracture (VCF) is usually considered
as a contraindication for vertebroplasty because of critically decreased vertebral height (less …

We investigated the efficacy of dynamic radiographs for diagnosing acute osteoporotic
vertebral fractures (OVFs) compared with supine radiographs or sitting radiographs alone …
