Study Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.
Objective: To compare the magnitude and duration of pain relief with vertebral augmentation to any other therapy for the treatment of cancer-related vertebral compression fractures through meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Summary Of Background Data: Derived from search on PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, Scopus, Central, Scopus, and Web of Science databases in May 2020. Studies selected were limited to randomized controlled trials comparing vertebral augmentation, either Balloon Kyphoplasty or Percutaneous Vertebroplasty (PVP) with or without additional therapy to any other intervention or placebo/sham.
Methods: The methodological quality of each included study was assessed according to the Cochrane Collaboration's domain-based framework. Random effects model, Q test, and I2 statistics were implemented.
Results: Of 180 records identified, 7 were considered relevant, and included 476 participants. The risk of bias was considered "Low" in all studies. In five of the studies, vertebral augmentation alone (either PVP or Balloon Kyphoplasty) comprised one group, while comparative treatments included nonsurgical management, Kiva implantation, PVP and radiofrequency therapy, PVP and chemotherapy, PVP and intrasomatic injection of steroid, and PVP with 125I seeds. Two studies compared PVP with an additional therapy against the standard of care. With regard to changes in pain severity, the effect sizes varied from 0.0 (95% -1.7 to 1.7) to -5.1 (95% -5.3 to -4.9). Most studies demonstrated a positive and statistically significant effect associated with PVP. Four of the seven studies demonstrated a clinically significant effect as well. Other than cement leakage, with an event rate of 0.24 (95% CI 0.11-0.44) or 24% (95% CI 11%-44%), there were no major adverse events consistently observed across multiple studies.
Conclusions: The included randomized controlled trials demonstrated an overall positive and statistically significant effect of vertebral augmentation surgeries, such as vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty, for the treatment of cancer-related vertebral compression fractures, especially when compared with nonsurgical management, radiofrequency ablation, or chemotherapy alone.Level of Evidence: 1.

Department of Orthopaedics, General Hospital of Northern Theatre Command, Shenyang 110016. Electronic address:
Backgrounds: Previous studies have found that percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) can effectively improve the local pain of the affected vertebra caused by thoracolumbar osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) regardless of unilateral or bilateral puncture, but there are few reports on whether it is equally effective for the accompanying distant lumbosacral pain.
Objective: To analyze the clinical effect of unilateral or bilateral PVP on thoracolumbar OVCF with distant lumbosacral pain.
Methods: The clinical data of patients with single-stage OVCF treated with PVP in our hospital from March 2019 to March 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.
Vascularized Iliac Crest Bone Graft for the Reconstruction of Anterior Vertebral Corpus Defects: A Literature Review and Cadaveric Feasibility Study.

From the Division of Plastic Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Phoenix, AZ.
Background: Vertebral body defects pose a significant challenge in spinal reconstructive surgery. Compression fractures of the vertebral corpus are typically treated with vertebral augmentation procedures. There are significant risks associated with the introduction of foreign material in the spine, including infection and pseudarthrosis.

Background: Prone lateral spinal surgery for simultaneous lateral and posterior approaches has recently been proposed to facilitate surgical room efficiency. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of minimally invasive prone lateral spinal surgery using a rotatable radiolucent Jackson table.
Methods: From July 2021 to June 2023, a consecutive series of patients who received minimally invasive prone lateral spinal surgery for various etiologies by the same surgical team were reviewed.

Department of Orthopedics, Shanghai General Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China.
Objective: The pedicle screw insertion technique has evolved significantly, and despite the challenges of precise placement, advancements like AR-based surgical navigation systems now offer enhanced accuracy and safety in spinal surgery by integrating real-time, high-resolution imaging with virtual models to aid surgeons. This study aims to evaluate the differences in accuracy between novel AR-guided pedicle screw insertion and conventional surgery techniques.
Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted from March 2019 to December 2023 to compare the efficacy of AR-guided pedicle screw fixation with conventional freehand surgery using CT guidance.
