The authors performed prophylactic cement injection into nonfractured vertebrae adjacent to fractured vertebrae and found that this may prevent new compression fractures after vertebroplasty in osteoporotic patients.

In one-level augmentation, no BMD changes were shown at the adjacent vertebrae above and below the vertebral augmentation. However, in multilevel augmentations, a statistically significant decrease in BMD was shown in the upper endplate of the adjacent level above the augmentation.

In: 50th American Society of Hematology Meeting; 6-9 December 2008; San Francisco, California. This randomized study showed that patients with cancer-related vertebral compression fractures treated with immediate balloon kyphoplasty showed a marked reduction in back disability and pain at 1 month compared with nonsurgical treatment.
