Kyphoplasty for osteoporotic vertebral fractures with posterior wall injury

Cement augmentation techniques are standard treatments for osteoporotic vertebral fractures. Compared to vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty is associated with lower rates of cement leak and better deformity correction, however, posterior wall fractures are relative, but not absolute, contraindications for both techniques and hence treatment practices vary among spine centers.
