Surgical treatment of fractures close to joints, especially in osteoporotic patients, is often associated with problems to obtain adequate strength of the bone-implant construct as well as sufficient purchase for screws in the weak bone. One way to address this increasing problem is through the development of new metal implants specifically designed for fixation of fractures in osteopenic bone....

متن کاملVertebral Augmentation: State of the Art.
Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVF) are an increasing public health problem. Cement augmentation (vertebroplasty of kyphoplasty) helps stabilize painful OVF refractory to medical treatment. This stabilization is thought to improve pain and functional outcome. Vertebroplasty consists of injecting cement into a fractured vertebra using a percutaneous transpedicular approach. Balloo...
