- Title
Vertebroplasty: a point of view on this surgical treatment.
- Authors
Bernardino, Saccomanni
- Abstract
The author reflects on two articles which appeared in the 2009 issue of the periodical "New England Journal Medicine," including "A randomized trial of Vertebroplasty for Painful Osteoporotic Vertebral Fractures," by R. Buchbinder and colleagues, and "A Randomized Trial of Vertebroplasty for Osteoporotic Spinal Fractures," by D. F. Kallmes and colleagues. He states that both the studies conclude that vertebroplasty is ineffective in patients having osteoporotic vertebral fractures.
