Narrative review reveals cement augmentation relieves pain in osteoporotic vertebral fractures, suggesting combined biomechanical and anabolic therapies reduce adjacent fracture risk.

Key Points

To review recent advances in bone cement augmentation materials, procedural techniques, and adjunctive pharmacologic therapies for managing osteoporotic vertebral fractures.
Conducted a comprehensive narrative literature review of English-language human studies, including clinical trials, experimental investigations, reviews, and meta-analyses.
Evaluated procedural refinements in percutaneous vertebroplasty, percutaneous kyphoplasty, implant-assisted systems, and concurrent anti-osteoporotic medications.
Percutaneous vertebroplasty and percutaneous kyphoplasty both provide substantial short-term pain relief, with kyphoplasty achieving greater vertebral height restoration and kyphotic angle correction.
Implant-assisted systems, such as SpineJack, improve vertebral expansion and sagittal alignment while lowering rates of cement leakage.
Secondary adjacent vertebral fractures remain common post-augmentation, highlighting the necessity of combining procedures with systemic anabolic agents such as teriparatide and romosozumab.
