AI Article Synopsis
- * New medical treatments are emerging for selected patients with osteoporosis, but limited research exists on the effectiveness of procedures like percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) or kyphoplasty for treating these fractures.
- * The case study discusses a 67-year-old man suffering from severe pain due to recurrent VCFs, who was successfully treated with PVP.
Article Abstract
Glucocorticosteroid-induced osteoporosis is the most frequent of all secondary types of osteoporosis, and can increase the risk of vertebral compression fractures (VCFs). There are promising additions to current medical treatment for appropriately selected osteoporotic patients. Few studies have reported on the efficiency of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) or kyphoplasty for whole thoracic and lumbar glucocorticosteroid-induced osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. We report a case of a 67-year-old man with intractable pain caused by successional VCFs treated by PVP.
