Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are both useful in the management of vertebral pain. In light of our experience, vertebroplasty is better indicated for vertebral fractures due to osteoporosis, haemangioma or metastasis on account of its simplicity and minimal invasiveness. Kyphoplasty is suggested in acute traumatic fractures of type A1 and A3 according to Magerl, as it allows recovery of vertebral stability and a better distribution of the cement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
