Article Abstract
Background: To investigate the outcomes of using percutaneous kyphoplasty in the treatment of the secondary osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.
Methods: Eighty-one patients had the secondary single segmental osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures after the initial fractures and treated by percutaneous kyphoplasty were reviewed, 74 of them had minimum 2 years follow-up were included in this study. The 74 patients with primary osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures treated by percutaneous kyphoplasty at the same time period were matched as control group in 1:1 ratio. Visual Analogue Scales (VAS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) were used to assess the back pain and functional outcomes. The kyphotic angulation (KA) and compression ratio (CR) of the fractured vertebra was measured too.
Results: Both the secondary fracture group and control group had significantly relieved back pain, improved functional outcomes, corrected KA and restored CR after operation, but no difference was found between two groups.
Conclusions: Our findings suggest that percutaneous kyphoplasty is an effective and safe procedure for patients with secondary single segmental osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures; it can achieve similar clinical outcomes to the primary osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.

School of Public Health, College of Public Health, Taipei Medical University, New Taipei, Taiwan.
Objectives: Concerns about erythropoietin (EPO) therapy for anemia in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) contributing to potential bone loss and increased fracture risks are growing. This study investigated the impact of EPO administration on the risk of common osteoporotic fractures in ESRD patients.
Methods: This population-based retrospective cohort study compared EPO users and non-EPO users among ESRD patients undergoing hemodialysis, diagnosed with ESRD between 2000 and 2014 identified from the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan.
Posterior Fusion With Pedicle Screw Cement Augmentation and Vertebroplasty Using Calcium Phosphate Cement for Osteoporotic Vertebral Fracture: A Case Report.

Osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVFs) in elderly patients pose challenges due to bone destruction and surgical risks. This case report describes a minimally invasive approach using calcium phosphate cement (CPC) vertebroplasty and short fusion with cement augmentation of pedicle screws (CAPS) in a 91-year-old woman with severe OVF. The patient underwent CPC vertebroplasty at L1 and CAPS fixation at T12-L2, followed by osteoporosis medication.

Accurate assessment of cancer patients' PVF risk is an unmet clinical need. Load-to-strength ratios (LSRs) evaluated in vivo by estimating vertebral loading from biomechanical modeling and strength from computed tomography imaging (CT) have been associated with osteoporotic vertebral fractures in older adults.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Nihon University Itabashi Hospital, 30-1 Oyaguchikamimati Itabashi-ku Tokyo 173-8610 Japan.
Background: Hounsfield unit values (HU) are known to correlate with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and they are gaining attention as a new method for assessing Bone mineral density (BMD) that is not affected by the limitations of DXA, such as degeneration, scoliosis, and vascular calcification. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of HU and DXA T-scores in predicting adjacent vertebral fractures (AVF) following balloon kyphoplasty (BKP) using the same computed tomography and DXA at one institution.
Methods: The study included 84 cases (20 males, 64 females, mean age 79.
Vertebral augmentation plus pedicle screw fixation versus vertebral augmentation alone in the treatment of osteoporotic thoracolumbar fractures: A Meta-analysis.

Department of Orthopaedics, Binhai Hospital of Tianjin Medical University General Hospital, Tianjin 300480, China.
Background: This meta-analysis was conducted to compare the efficacy and safety of vertebral augmentation (VA) plus pedicle screw fixation (PSF) with VA for treating osteoporotic thoracolumbar fractures (OTLFs).
Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) to identify studies comparing PSF+VA with VA for treating OTLF. The primary outcomes were operation time, blood loss, length of stay, visual analogue scale (VAS) score, Oswestry disability index (ODI), Cobb angle, anterior vertebral height (AVH), bone cement leakage, secondary fracture and other adverse events.
