fixation surgery combined with osteoporosis in recent years, which can significantly improve …

Abstract Background Context Dramatic increases in the average life expectancy have led to
increases in the variety of degenerative changes and deformities observed in the aging …

Background context A persistent challenge in spine surgery is improving screw fixation in
patients with poor bone quality. Augmenting pedicle screw fixation with cement appears to …

Background Adults undergoing spine surgery often have underlying osteoporosis, which
may be a risk factor for postoperative complications. Although these associations have been …

Study Design: Systematic review. Objectives:(1) Study indications for cement-augmented
pedicle screws (CAPS) in patients with osteoporosis. Have they changed over the years …

Osteoporosis is a burgeoning clinical problem that is characterized by decreased bone
strength and density. It predisposes patients to fragility fractures and debilitating spine …
