Osteoporosis is characterized by low bone mass, primarily affecting older individuals and a common complication vertebral fractures. The collapse-induced height loss in vertebrae can result spinal instability progressive kyphotic deformity. Surgical intervention for osteoporotic poses challenges due to poor quality frequent medical comorbidities. In recent years, it has become the predominant method augmentation acute fractures, aiming relieve pain, strengthen structure, prevent deformities restoring height. These procedures involve percutaneous placement of cannulas into each collapsed body through unipedicular or bipedicular approach.
 Novel products are emerging treating compression Balloon kyphoplasty vertebroplasty widely accepted recognized as effective methods. Treatment guidelines evolving with introduction innovative systems like Vertebral Body Stenting, Titanium Mesh, Sky Bone Expander, claiming achieve exceptional restoration. Controversies persist regarding optimal timing post-fracture.
 Polymethylmethacrylate cement extensively used stabilize fractured bodies. Additionally, new calcium phosphate-based nanocomposite cements gaining prominence. advancements underscore ongoing development treatment Each implant introduces unique features indications. Precise confirmation source painful fracture crucial safe treatment, ensuring proper indication.
