Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty: A Systematic Review of 69 Clinical Studies (2006, background): “Pain relief is often almost immediate, but in some patients, especially those who have been bedridden for longer periods of time, improvements may be delayed.(17,72,105) Long-term follow-up results were not as frequently reported.”
Interventional techniques: evidence-based practice guidelines in the management of chronic spinal pain. (2007, background): “In the study comparing balloon kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty (1211), both procedures appeared to provide a similar level of pain relief after surgery, although there was insufficient patients with follow-up in order to comment on 1year outcome.”
