Primary and Secondary Osteoporosisʼ Incidence of Subsequent Vertebral Compression Fractures After Kyphoplasty

Abstract

Steroid-induced compression fractures appear to have an increased incidence of subsequent fractures after the kyphoplasty procedure. The kyphoplasty protocol with concurrent medical osteoporotic regimen does not appear to increase, and may serve to reduce, the incidence of remote and adjacent fractures for primary osteoporotic fractures.
