original publication.
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Meta-analysis of vertebral augmentation compared with conservative treatment for osteoporotic spinal fractures
J Bone Miner Res. 2013 Feb;28(2):372-82. doi: 10.1002/jbmr.1762Exclusive Author Interview
Dr. Anderson discusses vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty for the treatment of vertebral compression fracture
Six studies were included in this analysis which considered the effectiveness of cement augmentation procedures - vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty - in the treatment of vertebral compression fractures. The surgical procedures were compared to control groups of sham or conservative treatment on the basis of pain, functional, and quality of life outcomes, along with incidence of secondary surgery. Results of the analysis indicated that pain, spine-specific functional outcome, and health-related quality of life measures were improved with the use of vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty, and incidence of secondary fracture was similar between the surgical procedures and nonoperative or sham treatment.
