Özet
Osteoporosis increases the risk of spontaneous fractures of skeleton by enhancing the microstructure of the bones. Kyphoplasty is preferred for decreasing the pain and disability in treatment of spinal fractures. We aimed to report our clinical experience in kyphoplasty for spinal fracture treatment and to express a brief literature review. We performed balloon kyphoplasty in 14 patients with osteoporotic spinal fractures between January 2012 and July 2015. Nine of the patients were women and 5 were men. Age of the patients ranged between 59 to 81 years. We think that spinal fractures should be initially treated with conventional methods, however, kyphoplasty should be done without a delay because it is very effective in pain and other complications of the fracture and a relatively safer method than other interventions. © 2018 OMU
