Effect of Vertebroplasty with Bone Filler Device and Comparison with Balloon Kyphoplasty
BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are popular procedures for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. Although the kyphoplasty has a superior effect, it destroys normal vertebral trabecular structure and it has a higher cost. PURPOSE: To analyze vertebroplasty with a bone …

Cost Utility Analysis of Balloon Kyphoplasty and Vertebroplasty in the Treatment of Vertebral Compression Fractures in the United States
… 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 have been conducted to compare and contrast the effectiveness of both these techniques and have reported that …

Improving Bioactivity and the Anti-Bacterial Properties of Two-Solution Bone Cement Containing Cross-Linked Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) Nanospheres (η-TSBC)
… 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 biologic potential to remodel or …
