  1. Cost Utility Analysis of Balloon Kyphoplasty and Vertebroplasty in the Treatment of Vertebral Compression Fractures in the United States

    Vertebral compression fractures are associated with chronic pain, decreased health related quality of life and high health care costs. Balloon kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty are vertebral augmentation procedures, widely used by spine surgeons to relieve pain in these patients. A number of studies …

  2. Improving Bioactivity and the Anti-Bacterial Properties of Two-Solution Bone Cement Containing Cross-Linked Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) Nanospheres (η-TSBC)

    … application of the material in the treatment of vertebral compression fractures using vertebroplasty (VP) and kyphoplasty (KP). The η-TSBC exhibited reduced viscosity, lower polymerization exotherm, and residual monomer in comparison to STSBC. Nevertheless, the η-TSBC lacks bioactivity and has no …

  3. Biomechanical and Finite Element Analyses of Alternative Cements for use in Vertebral Kyphoplasty

    A vertebral compression fracture occurs when the vertebral body of the spine collapses due to osteoporosis or trauma. Depending on the degree of osteoporosis, the forces required to induce vertebral compression fracture can vary while the forces required to induce fractures via trauma are large. …
