BACKGROUND: Vertebral augmentation has recently evolved as a medical procedure for
the treatment of vertebral compression fractures, the most common type of skeletal fractures …

Vertebroplasty is an efficient procedure to treat osteoporotic vertebral fractures. Cement
leakage is considered to be the most severe complication during vertebroplasty. At high …

Study Design. Clinical study of injection pressure during vertebroplasty. Objectives. To
investigate the range of injection pressures during conventional vertebroplasty interventions …

Background: The major complications arising from vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty are related
to leakage of cement beyond the confines of the collapsed vertebral body. Traditionally, a …

The incidence of osteoporotic bone fractures is growing exponentially as the western
population ages and as life expectancy increases. Vertebroplasty, where acrylic or calcium …

Study Design. This is an experimental study on an artificial vertebra model and human
cadaveric spine. Objective. Characterization of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone …

Study Design. Comparative, prospective follow-up study. Objective. Comparison of outcome
between patients treated with Percutaneous VertebroPlasty (PVP) using low and medium …

Study Design. Experimental study using a laboratory leakage model. Objective. To examine
the working hypothesis that high-viscosity cements will spread uniformly, thus significantly …

Background: High-viscosity cement (HVC) has been gradually applied in percutaneous
vertebroplasty (PVP) and percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP). Although HVC has been …

BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) is a common treatment
modality for painful osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs). The complication …
