Summary

This study aims to compare three treatments in recent (less than 6 week duration) non-traumatic ( usually osteoporotic) vertebral fractures.

Conditions

  • Osteoporotic Vertebral Fracture
  • Between T5 and L5
  • of Less Than 6 Weeks Duration

Interventions

OTHER

conventional treatment

with our without brace

PROCEDURE

kyphoplasty with balloons

Balloon Kyphoplasty which consists of placing through a percutaneous posterior approach under radiological guidance, into the fractured vertebra a balloon which is inflated with fluid and creates a cavity. This may restore part of the vertebral height loss due to the fracture. In addition, after balloon deflation, polymethylmetacrylate cement is injected with low pressure into the created cavity.

PROCEDURE

vertebroplasty

Vertebroplasty consisting in the percutaneous injection into the fractured vertebra of polymethylmetacrylate cement (the cement used to fix prosthesis in joint replacement) through a posterior route through the vertebral pedicles under radiological guidance
