Abstract

Vertebral compression fractures are frequent, and constitute a common and often debilitating feature of osteoporosis. The incidence of vertebral compression fractures rises with age [1,2]. Due to the increasing elderly population, the treatment of vertebral compression fractures is becoming more and more important. [3-7]. The objective in treating VCFs is the relief of pain and the restoration of spinal function utilizing a minimally invasive therapy. The ideal treatment should result in an immediate relief of fracture-related pain, a satisfying restoration of vertebral body height, and the correction of angular deformity [8-10]. Both vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty lead to immediate pain relief because the broken vertebra is stabilized and further deformity is prevented [9,11,12].
