Description
Stylianos Kapetanakis and co-authors reviewed records of older patients who needed repeat vertebroplasty, a procedure that injects cement into broken spinal bones, in a study published in 2026. The patients were 75 to 85 years old and had osteoporosis-related fractures in the chest and lower back.
All had earlier vertebroplasty and came back for repair at three or four levels in a single session, between August 2019 and November 2023, at one center. Pain scores and a disability index were recorded before surgery and at one, three, six, and twelve months after. The authors set out to judge pain relief, daily function, and safety for a group that earlier reports rarely covered.
