Stent-armed kyphoplasty in osteoporotic thoracolumbar fractures-clinical and functional results and a center experience over 10 years.
Abstract
The optimal treatment of osteoporotic vertebral fractures is still a controversial and under discussion topic. Armed kyphoplasty with expansive intravertebral implants is an emerging procedure, which, in theory, it not only makes it possible to achieve instant analgesia, and to get stabilization gains of benefits of kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty, but also, allows for a more effective maintenance of the restored vertebral height.
