EVALUATION OF EFFECTIVENESS OF PERCUTANEOUS VERTEBROPLASTY IN COMPLEX TREATMENT OF OSTEOPOROSIS WITH PATHOLOGICAL VERTEBRAL FRACTURES

Abstract

The effectiveness of vertebroplasty in treatment of 84 patients with osteoporosis and pathological fractures of the vertebrae was evaluated. 68 patients of the first group were underwent a comprehensive conservative treatment, percutaneous vertebroplasty was performed additionally in 16 patients in second group. The study found that in the second group treatment results were slightly better: the investigated parameters showed a significant dynamics, ie, vertebroplasty improved the results of treatment of osteoporotic patients with pathological fractures of the vertebrae.
