Objectives: To prospectively evaluate the feasibility and safety of a polyetheretherketone (PEEK) polymer transpedicular vertebral system to treat vertebral compression fracture (VCF).
Methods: Nine consecutive patients (4 men and 5 women; median age 59 [interquartile range: 58-64 years]) were included. The procedure duration, length of hospital stay, and complications were reported. Visual analog scale (VAS) and the Oswestry disability index (ODI) for pain and disability were assessed before and at 2, 6, and 12-month after the procedure.
Results: The procedure was technically feasible in all patients. The median procedural time was 64 minutes [45-94]. Only minor adverse events were reported (5 clinically asymptomatic cement leakages) but no severe complications. No post procedural adjacent fracture was reported during follow-up (median: 193 days [147-279]). The median VAS score decreased from 55 mm [50-70] before the procedure to 25 mm [5-30] at 2-month ( = .0003) and 30 mm [15-40] at 6-month follow-up ( = .14). The median ODI decreased from 23% [19-26] before the procedure to 12% [10-14] at 2-month ( = .03) and 12% [9-20] at 6-month follow-up ( = .47).
Conclusion: Percutaneous transpedicular fixation of VCF by PEEK implants appears feasible and safe.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how the distribution of bone cement during percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) affects patients' residual back pain after surgery.
- A total of 65 patients with osteoporotic vertebral fractures underwent PVP, split into two groups based on the distribution of cement: 20 had it biased to one side (partial group) and 45 had it filling the vertebral body midline (bilateral group).
- Results showed that while both groups experienced pain relief post-surgery, the bilateral group had significantly lower pain levels at 1 day, 1 month, and 3 months after the procedure, highlighting that proper cement distribution is crucial in reducing residual back pain.

Vertebral augmentation consists of minimally invasive techniques indicated in the treatment of vertebral compression fractures (VCFs). These compression fractures cause vertebral body height loss and consequent significant pain and are most frequently the result of osteoporosis, cancer metastasis, or trauma. The deleterious effects of VCFs often compound, as greater load-bearing stress is transferred to the remaining healthy vertebrae.

In the current study, a 3D finite element study was performed to investigate the biomechanical response of an osteoporotic spine segment treated with a novel transpedicular implant (V-STRUT, Hyprevention, France) made of PEEK (polyetheretherketone) material combined with either injections of 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 cc of cement. The objective was to assess numerically the biomechanical performance of the implant in combination with different doses of the injected bone cement and to compare its performance with the gold standard vertebroplasty (VP) technique. A female (69 yo) was selected and a 3D finite element model of an osteoporotic spine segment was built based on a Computed Tomography (CT) scan performed from T12 to L2 with corresponding intervertebral discs and ligaments.

Unilaterally extrapedicular versus transpedicular kyphoplasty in treating osteoporotic lumbar fractures: a randomized controlled study.

Article Synopsis
- A study was done to compare two different ways of treating back fractures caused by weak bones (osteoporosis) using a procedure called balloon kyphoplasty.
- 80 patients with fresh fractures were split into two groups: one used the new method called the extrapedicular approach, and the other used the traditional transpedicular approach.
- After one month, the patients using the extrapedicular approach reported less pain, and both methods were equally safe, meaning no major differences in how well they worked or led to complications.
