Summary
- •
Conservative management is the traditional first-line management for osteoporotic compression fractures.
- •
Use of vertebral augmentation is controversial, owing to two previous independent level-1 trials that demonstrated no clinical validity for VP over the sham control groups. Conclusions from these studies have divided the medical community with respect to the efficacy of vertebral augmentation.
- •
Despite this controversy, increased use of vertebral augmentation for managing painful osteoporotic

Towards purely inorganic clusters in medicine: Biocompatible divalent cations as counterions of cobaltabis(dicarbollide) and its iodinated derivatives
2021, Journal of Organometallic ChemistryCitation Excerpt :Following deprotonation, the dianionic [7,8-nido-C2B9H11]2− ligands, that may be interpreted as having an η5 pentagonal C2B3 open face can undergo metal complexation to yield the θ shape anionic metallabis(dicarbollide) clusters. The most studied of them are the metallabis(dicarbollide), [3,3’-M(1,2-C2B9H11)2]−, M= Co, Fe, Ni, [19] (Chart 1). If the starting closo icosahedral carborane cluster is iodinated or highly iodinated at the boron vertices, the corresponding anionic species either nido- or metallabis(dicarbollide) would have iodine atoms bonded to the boron vertices of the respective clusters (Scheme 1).
Trends of utilization and physician payments for vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty procedures by physician specialty and practice setting: 2010 to 2018
2020, Spine JournalCitation Excerpt :This is due to an average per-procedure payment of $3,212 in 2018 which was more than double that for orthopedic surgery and almost four times that for radiology and neurosurgery. This was due in large part to the shift to more office-based procedures performed by anesthesia and pain management which were reimbursed at the nonfacility rate, as discussed above [18]. Limitations include the retrospective and observational nature of this study.
