Abstract

The article details a study which compared the effectiveness of vertebroplasty and conservative treatment in patients with acute osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture. The study included patients, aged 50 years and older, from the Netherlands and Belgium, who had vertebral compression fractures on spine radiograph. Study authors found that patients who underwent vertebroplasty experienced greater pain relief than those who received conservative treatment.
