Osteoporosis is a skeletal condition characterized by low bone mineral density (BMD).
Common in older patients undergoing spinal fusion, it is a significant risk factor for …

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

Background Cement-augmented pedicle screw instrumentation (CAPSI) of the
thoracolumbar spine is indicated in osteoporosis or osteopenia to improve pullout strength …

OBJECTIVE Loosening and pullout of pedicle screws are well-known problems in pedicle
screw fixation surgery. Augmentation of pedicle screws with bone cement, first described as …

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 …

Osteoporosis has become a major medical problem as the aged population of the world
rapidly grows. Osteoporosis predisposes patients to fracture, progressive spinal deformities …

Study Design: This is a retrospective study carried out to evaluate the clinical results of
patients with osteoporosis and various spinal diseases treated surgically with …

Purpose Our study aimed to provide updated and comprehensive evidence on the
complications associated with the use of cement-augmented pedicle screws (CAPS) in …

Many studies have proven that the polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) augmentation of the
pedicle screw can significantly increase stiffness and strength of spinal fixation. Some major …

Objective To investigate the complication rates and long-term implant failure rates in a
monocentric study of a consecutive cohort of patients with thoracolumbar spinal metastases …
