Filter by:Background : Vertebral fracture is the most common complication of osteoporosis. Vertebroplasty is a widespread treatment modality for osteoporotic vertebral fractures, providing consolidation, rapid pain relief and preventing secondary vertebral collapse. Performing a biopsy at the same time as the operation does not lengthen the procedure or increase the risk of complications. The question therefore arises as to whether it is cost-effective diagnostically: are non-osteoporotic vertebral lesions detected when biopsies are taken? Methods: The investigators carried out a single-centre retrospective study at Nice University Hospital. From January 2016 to March 2022, 1729 biopsies were performed during 1439 vertebroplasty procedures on 1120 patients. The pre-operative laboratory work-up included a blood count, a C-reactive protein assay and a coagulation test. The imaging work-up systematically included MRI, unless contraindicated, in which case CT alone was performed. Vertebroplasty was performed in an interventional CT suite under dual CT and fluoroscopic guidance. The systematic biopsy sample was then sent to the anatomopathology department for analysis. Findings : The samples detected cancer in 35 patients, including 5 (0.44%) for whom the pre-operative work-up had not raised any suspicion. All the incidental findings were haemopathies, including 4 myelomas and one lymphoma. Conclusion : These results highlight the good performance of MRI in distinguishing osteoporotic vertebral fractures from solid tumour metastases. However, an exhaustive pre-operative work-up does not seem to be able to formally rule out an underlying malignant lesion. The investigators therefore recommend that biopsies be taken systematically when performing vertebroplasty.
The purpose of this study is to reveal the effectiveness and safety of integrative Korean medicine for Acute Vertebral Compression Fracture in-patients by observing inpatients treated with integrative Korean medicine. This study is a retrospective observational study. The subjects for study are patients diagnosed with Acute Vertebral Compression Fracture and who have been admitted to four Jaseng Hospital of Korean medicine (Gangnam, Bucheon, Daejeon, and Haeundae) for 2016.04.01-2022.06.30. Medical records of selected patients will be analyzed, and telephone surveys will be conducted for each patient. The survey questions are Numeric ratinc scale (NRS), Oswestry Disability Index(ODI), quality of life, and Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC), etc.
The overall purpose of conducting this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of V-Flex and V-Steady for augmentation of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures and to verify that adding a cement softener into a PMMA bone cement is comparable to a PMMA bone cement alone (V-Steady).
Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) are serious health problems. Transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has gained considerable attention to treat osteoporosis and OVCFs because implanted healthy MSCs could be differentiated into osteoblasts and reduce the susceptibility of fractures by facilitating new bone formation. This study compares teriparatide (PTH 1-34) injection to combined treatment with Wharton's jelly-derived MSCs (WJ-MSCs) and teriparatide (PTH 1-34) in patients with OVCFs. It is a randomized, open-label, phase 2 study.
This is a multicenter, single-blinded, randomized controlled clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of the AGN1 LOEP SV Kit for the treatment of painful vertebral compression fragility fractures (VCFs). The objective of this study is to demonstrate non-inferiority of the AGN1 LOEP SV Kit for the treatment of VCFs to standard of care vertebroplasty treatment using bipedicular injection of PMMA bone cement.
This study is a prospective, single-arm, multi-center, European clinical study designed to evaluate the clinical performance and safety of the AGN1 LOEP SV Kit for the treatment of painful VCFs.
The purpose of this study is to assess the performance and safety of two balloon kyphoplasty systems (Joline®), the single balloon catheter Allevo and Quattroplasty double balloon catheter Stop'n Go, using BonOs® Inject bone cement for treatment of Vertebral Compression Fractures.
This study aimed to assess the sensory and kinematic components of the limits of stability (LOS) test in patients with vertebral compression fracture (VCF) .
The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of radiofrequency ablation of the medial branch nerves (RFA-MBN) in relieving pain and improving physical function in patients with subacute and chronic vertebral compression fractures (VCF).
The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the V-STRUT© Transpedicular Vertebral System for the treatment of vertebral compression fractures of the thoracic or lumbar spine.
