Evaluation of predictive performance for new vertebral compression fracture between Hounsfield units value and vertebral bone quality score following percutaneous vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty.
Acad Radiol
December 2024
Department of Orthopedics, the First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing 210029, Jiangsu, People's Republic of China (Z.W., L.L., T.Z., R.L., W.R., H.Z., Z.T., Y.R.). Electronic address:
Rationale And Objectives: New vertebral compression fractures (NVCF) are very common in patients following percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) or kyphoplasty (PKP). The study aims to evaluate the comparative predictive performance of vertebral bone quality (VBQ) score and Hounsfield units (HU) value in forecasting NVCF after surgery.
Materials And Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed patients who underwent PVP/PKP at our institution between 2020 and 2021.
Evaluating the Quality of Information in Instagram Posts Related to Spine Surgery: A Methodological Study.

Department of Neurosurgery, Ordu University, Ordu, TUR.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the quality of information in Instagram posts about spine surgeries using specific hashtags.
- A total of 105 posts were analyzed by two independent physicians, revealing that half were from physicians and half from patients, with the majority being photos.
- The results showed that posts from physicians had significantly higher information quality compared to those from patients, but overall, Instagram was not deemed a reliable source for patient information.
Multi-level Percutaneous Vertebroplasty for Multiple Spinal Metastases With Asymptomatic Epidural Compression: A Case-Based Example of Minimally Invasive Patient Management.

Department of Neurosurgery, Military Medical Academy, Sofia, BGR.
Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) is a minimally invasive procedure that allows for treating or preventing vertebral fractures resulting from trauma, osteoporosis, or oncological conditions. Metastatic spinal disease is a condition that necessitates mostly palliative care and pain management with minimal invasiveness. It could present with axial or localized back pain and may be associated with neurological deficit if compression of the spinal cord and/or the nerve roots is involved.

Department of Neurosurgery, University Hospital "Saint Ivan Rilski", Sofia, BGR.
Article Synopsis
- * A case study describes a 41-year-old man with malignant melanoma who developed acute paraplegia due to a fracture in his spine caused by a metastatic lesion.
- * Emergency surgery successfully relieved his spinal compression, leading to a quick recovery in motor and sensory functions, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and treatment in such cases.
Risk of new vertebral compression fractures and serious adverse effects after vertebroplasty: a systematic, critical review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Quant Imaging Med Surg

Department of Radiology, Hospital Universitario Virgen de las Nieves, Granada, Spain.
Article Synopsis
- Osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVFs) lead to major health challenges, and vertebroplasty is a common treatment whose effectiveness and safety remain controversial due to varied results in studies.
- This study performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate vertebroplasty's safety, particularly its link to serious adverse effects and new fractures, while considering different influencing factors.
- Analysis of 14 RCTs showed no significant difference in new fracture rates between vertebroplasty and control groups, but vertebroplasty was linked to fewer serious adverse effects.
