Objective

Comparison of clinical outcome after Percutaneous Vertebro Plasty (PVP) for Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fractures (OVCFs) between patients with and without Intra Vertebral Clefts (IVCs).

Background

PVP is a common treatment modality for painful OVCFs. Patients presenting with OVCFs with an IVC, also described as avascular necrosis of the vertebral body or intravertebral pseuadoarthrosis, are thought to represent a specific subgroup: filling the cleft might result in immediate and possibly superior pain relief due to stabilization of the excessive mobility associated with an IVC and the risk for cement leakage might be decreased due to its cavitational nature.
