Lower ratio of adjacent to injured vertebral bone quality scores can predict augmented vertebrae recompression following percutaneous kyphoplasty for osteoporotic vertebral fractures with intravertebral clefts
Abstract:BackgroundDespite the favorable clinical outcome of percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in symptomatic osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVFs) patients with intravertebral clefts (IVCs), previous studies have demonstrated a high incidence of augmented vertebrae recompression (AVR). We aim to evaluate the usefulness of the adjacent and injured vertebral bone quality scores (VBQS) based on T1‐weighted MRI images in AVR after PKP for OVFs with IVCs.MethodsPatients who underwent PKP for single OVFs with IVCs between Ja… Show more
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.
