ABSTRACT
Osteoporotic vertebral fractures without prior adequate traumatization are frequent diagnosed in orthopedics because of the increasing life expectancy and incidence of osteoporosis. The associated high mortality is caused by reduced mobilization which leads to a higher risk of infection and a bedridden state. On the other hand the diagnosis of sacral insufficiency fractures is often prolonged because of unspecific symptoms while being associated with similar risks. This article presents an overview of the present scientific literature and a retrospective analysis of patients treated via balloon-assisted sacroplasty. In 8 years, ten patients (three men and seven women) were treated. The average age was 78.4 years and the average time until the diagnosis 4.6 weeks. In most patients a significant pain reduction after the failure of conservative treatment thanks to operative treatment as well as increased mobility was observed. Only one experienced a minor surgical complication being cement leakage with nerval impaction which did not compromise her clinical outcome or satisfaction with the procedure. Balloon-assisted sacroplasty can possibly be seen as an effective symptomatic therapy in osteoporotic insufficiency fractures.
