Abstract

Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are established minimally invasive techniquesfor compression fractures of osteoporotic vertebral bodies. Proceduraldisadvantages, include incomplete fracture reduction or a significantloss of reduction after balloon deflation, prior to cement injection. Inorder to avoid this loss of reduction, a newer alternative has been introduced,based on the principles of balloon kyphoplasty and vascular stenting.A total of 30 elderly patients with 45 symptomatic VCFs wereenrolled in a prospective study of vertebral body stenting (Vbs) . Clinicaloutcomes were measured pre- and postoperatively using the visual analoguescale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and ambulatory status(AS). Most of outcomes were improved post-operatively and at followupvisits. So, elderly patients with symptomatic VCFs had rapid, significant,and sustained improvements in back pain, back function, and qualityof life following vertebral body stenting .
