Background: Percutaneous vertebroplasty is commonly used in the management of osteoporosis-related vertebral fractures, although there is controversy on its superiority over conservative treatment. Here we compare pain and function in women with vertebral osteoporotic fractures who underwent percutaneous vertebroplasty versus conservative treatment with a protocolized rehabilitation program.
Methods: A longitudinal and comparative prospective study was conducted.
Article Synopsis
- Several studies suggest a link between renal function and lower bone mineral density (BMD), but the connection in early renal dysfunction isn't well-defined.
- The research involved 120 women with primary osteoporosis, using DEXA scans to assess BMD and the MDRD equation to evaluate renal function.
- Results showed a significant positive relationship between spine BMD and moderate renal impairment, but no correlation was found between hip BMD or fractures and renal function, indicating that early stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD) may not affect BMD significantly.
