Post-kyphoplasty secondary vertebral compression fractures in Vietnamese patients: A single-center prospective cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite its well-known effectiveness in vertebral compression fractures (VCFs), kyphoplasty could also bring the risk of developing subsequent VCFs post-augmentation, especially at adjacent vertebrae, which has been rarely reported in Asian countries.

Methods

In this cross-sectional study, we performed cement augmentation on 69 vertebrae in 65 patients at the Spine Surgery Department, Viet Duc University Hospital, from June 2019 to November 2020. Cement augmentation was performed on 69 vertebrae in 65 patients. They then were followed and assessed for subsequent VCFs every 3, 6, 9 months after surgery.
