Vertebral Augmentation Compared to Conservative Treatment of Vertebra Plana and High-Degree Osteoporotic Vertebral Fractures: A Review of 110 Fractures in 100 Patients
Abstract:This is a retrospective study that evaluated surgical versus non-surgical treatment of 100 patients followed for up to six years diagnosed with severe osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (VCF).
