The speaker also discusses various studies on vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty, emphasizing the importance of early treatment. The technical aspects of these procedures, such as imaging guidance and approaches, are detailed. The lecture highlights the significance of timely treatment in reducing morbidity and mortality in vertebral fracture cases.
