sac. Metastatic deposits in the vertebral lamina orpedicleare less common but can also be the origin of epidural disease. Another important cause of spinal cord compression is mechanical deformity of the spinal column associated with vertebral body collapse after replacement of bone bymetastatic tumor...
These fractures can be treated with mild residual deformity in many cases, but are reportedly associated with increased risk of secondary vertebral fractures. In the present study, a three-dimensional (3D) whole spine model was constructed using the finite element method to explore the mechanism of...
Osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) is the most common type of osteoporotic fractures observed in the elderly, causing intractable back pain, spine deformity, and other systematic complications. The estimated annual incidence of symptomatic OVCF is approximately half a million in Europe, af...
vertebral compression fracture(VCF): a break in the vertebral body of the spine causing it to collapse and produce a wedge-shaped deformity. vertebroplasty: a minimally invasive procedure used to treat vertebral compression fractures by injecting bone cement into the vertebral body. ...
There was no significant difference between the mean differences of TBS between L1 and the means of L2-3 vertebrae in the control group and the most compression fractures, including old and recent VCF with mild or moderate deformity and old VCF with severe deformity.Conclusion Lumbar spine TBS,...

Conclusions Although vertebral deformity is a common complication, cervical instability along with medullary compression is a rare finding in adult achondroplasia. Excellent results may be anticipated by decompressive surgical procedures in a timely fashion with reversal of neurological deficit....
PATIENT SAMPLE: Two consecutive patients with AIS who underwent surgical treatment of their deformity and developed ESCC with neurologic deficit requiring emergent decompression due to extravasation of FloSeal. OUTCOME MEASURES: Clinical outcome measures and radiographic findings. METHODS: Medical records and...

However, these patients have an increased risk of osteoporosis and vertebral fractures. The patient was an 8-year-old boy with Duchenne muscular dystrophy who had received corticosteroid treatment for 3 years, with refractory vertebral compression fractures at T11, L1, and L3. Balloon kyphoplasty ...
