Unstable vertebral body fragility fractures of the thoracolumbar spine can occur with or
without relevant trauma. Initially, a standardized diagnostic algorithm including magnetic …

Vertebral compression fractures are the most prevalent complication of osteoporosis and
percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) has emerged as a promising addition to the methods of …

Purpose The interrelations between age-related muscle deterioration (sarcopenia) and
vertebral fractures have been suggested based on clinical observations, but the …

Objective The purpose of this study is to find the optimal stiffness and volume of bone
cement and their biomechanical effects on the adjacent vertebrae to determine a better …

Purpose Sagittal malalignment is a risk factor for mechanical complications after surgery for
adult spinal deformity (ASD). Spinal loads, modulated by sagittal alignment, may explain this …

Vertebroplasty is a common and effective treatment for symptomatic osteoporotic vertebral
compression fractures. However, the cemented and adjacent vertebras have a risk of …

We have recently observed an increased risk for vertebral fractures (VF) in a randomized
controlled trial comparing the analgesic effect of vertebroplasty (VP) versus conservative …

Purpose Proximal junctional kyphosis and failure are frequent complications in adult spinal
deformity surgery with long fusion constructs. The aim of this study was to assess the …

Purpose Vertebral augmentation with PMMA is a widely applied treatment of vertebral
osteoporotic compression fractures. Subsequent fractures are a common complication …

Background Vertebral compression fractures occur in the thoracolumbar junction, causing
the collapse of the vertebral body. For their treatment, vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are …
