Title

The effect of height restoration of compression fractures on the risk of follow-up trauma after kyphoplasty

Retrospective clinical studies suggest that kyphoplasty, despite being a procedure with promising potential, may be related to an increased fracture risk of the adjacent untreated vertebrae. The project examined the effect of height restoration on the risk of follow-up fractures and determined that that prevalent fractures are a symptomatic condition of osteoporosis rather than a sequel of efficiently preformed kyphoplasty
