NCT ID: NCT00749086 Completed - Clinical trials for Osteoporotic Vertebral Fracture

Comparison of Balloon Kyphoplasty and Vertebroplasty in Subacute Osteoporotic Vertebral Fractures

OSTEO+6
Start date: December 2007
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

This study aims to compare two treatments in subacute (more than 6 week duration) non-traumatic (usually osteoporotic) vertebral fractures. The two treatments are the following: 1. Vertebroplasty consisting in the percutaneous injection into the fractured vertebra of polymethylmetacrylate cement (the cement used to fix prosthesis in joint replacement) through a posterior route through the vertebral pedicles under radiological guidance. 2. Balloon Kyphoplasty which consists of placing through a percutaneous posterior approach under radiological guidance, into the fractured vertebra a balloon which is inflated with fluid and creates a cavity. This may restore part of the vertebral height loss due to the fracture. In addition, after balloon deflation, polymethylmetacrylate cement is injected with low pressure into the created cavity to fix fracture reduction. The study will indicate if balloon kyphoplasty is able to restore vertebral height of the fractured vertebra better than vertebroplasty.

NCT ID: NCT00749060 Completed - Clinical trials for Osteoporotic Vertebral Fracture

Comparison of Balloon Kyphoplasty, Vertebroplasty and Conservative Management in Acute Osteoporotic Vertebral Fractures

OSTEO-6

Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study aims to compare three treatments in recent (less than 6 week duration) non-traumatic ( usually osteoporotic) vertebral fractures.
