Summary

The aim of this study was to examine the short- to medium-term efficacy of percutaneous vertebral body reconstruction by vertebral body augmentation with Sr-HA paste plus short-segment pedicle screw fixation in fresh fractures, as well as to evaluate Sr-HA resorption/substitution. The hypotheses tested in this study were as follows: 1) whether Sr-HA is equivalent to PMMA for restoring the fractured thoracolumbar vertebral body, 2) whether leakage of Sr-HA is less than that of PMMA, and 3) whether Sr-HA is completely resorbed and replaced by cancellous bone.
