NCT00635297

Brief Summary

Percutaneous vertebroplasty is a treatment for painful osteoporotic compression fractures. Multiple reports have shown as high as 20 % refracturerates in vertebrae adjacent to those that have been treated with percutaneous vertebroplasty. The purpose of the study is to determine if prophylactic vertebroplasty of unfractured vertebrae adjacent to the treated fractured vertebrae can reduce the rates of refracture in adjacent vertebrae.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Refracture rate based on MRI and CT after 3 months and one year

    3 months and one year

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Pain relief after the procedure based on VAS

    3 months and one year

Study Arms (2)

1

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

50 osteoporotic patients with a vertebral insufficiency fracture will receive treatment of the vertebrae with standard vertebroplasty

Procedure: Percutaneous vertebroplasty

2

EXPERIMENTAL

50 osteoporotic patients with a vertebral insufficiency fracture will receive treatment of the vertebrae with standard vertebroplasty. The adjacent vertebrae will be treated with 3-5 ml of PMMA

Procedure: Percutaneous vertebroplasty

Interventions

PMMA injection 3-10 milliliter in each treated vertebrae

Also known as: PMMA
