Vertebral Augmentation

Dr. Douglas Beall offers a comprehensive analysis of vertebral augmentation versus non-surgical management for treating unstable vertebral compression fractures. He critically examines the data on conventional treatments like bracing and rest, revealing their ineffectiveness. The focus then shifts to advanced techniques and new implants in vertebral augmentation, supported by real-world results and meta-analyses. His discussion also includes the significance of achieving optimal height restoration and angulation improvement, highlighting the life-saving potential and long-term effectiveness of vertebral augmentation in complex cases.
