Summary

Study design: A prospective randomized study is performed and cases are selected where the indication for surgery is a vertebral compression fracture.

Object: To assess outcomes and complications in patients undergoing vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty and thermal facet ablation for vertebral compression.

Conditions

  • Vertebral Compression Fracture

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Thermal facet ablation

A minimally invasive procedure that uses heat radiofrequency) to target and disable the sensory nerves around damaged facet joints in the spine, stopping pain signals to the brain for relief from chronic back pain, stiffness, and limited mobility, with minimal scarring and quick recovery, often done with local anesthetic.

PROCEDURE

Vertebroplasty

A minimally invasive procedure to treat painful spinal compression fractures, by injecting special bone cement (polymethyl methacrylate) into the fractured vertebra using a needle guided by imaging (fluoroscopy) for stabilization and pain relief.

PROCEDURE

Kyphoplasty

A minimally invasive spine procedure to treat painful vertebral compression fractures by using a balloon to restore height to a collapsed vertebra, then filling the space with bone cement. The surgeon inserts a tube, inflates a balloon to create space and realign the bone, removes the balloon, and injects cement, all guided by real-time X-rays (fluoroscopy).
