Kyphoplasty Augmentation in Thoracolumbar Spine - Clinical Outcomes after 2 Years.

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY With the ageing of population the vertebral insufficiency fractures are increasing in number and occur ever more frequently. Symptomatic relief is often difficult to achieve by non-operative treatment. The aim of this study was to determine the level of pain relief and functional outcomes in patients who failed initial non-operative treatment and, because of persisting or growing symptoms, underwent kyphoplasty.
