| Research Abstract |
OBJECTIVE: To investigate risk factors for subsequent fractures after prophylactic percutaneous vertebroplasty.MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study included 116 patients with osteoporotic compression fractures who underwent prophylactic percutaneous vertebroplasty. We analyzed the following multiple covariates to determine whether they were associated with recurrence: age, sex, steroid use, and the preoperative number of unhealed or chronic compression fractures.RESULTS: The incidence of subsequent fractures was significantly higher in patient s with three or more fractures than in those with one fracture (p < 0.05). There were no statistically significant differences for the other factors.
