The Vertect Jack Device: A new method for augmentation of vertebral fractures. Clinical study with comparisons to kyphoplasty

摘要

BACKGROUND: Kyphoplasty is a proven minimally invasive procedure for the treatment of patients with osteoporotic fractures. By augmentation of fractured vertebral body, however, a very large portion of the intervertebral structures will be destroyed. With the help of a new device (Vertect Jack Device), the erection of the vertebral body will be carried out more gentle.
