💡 AI Summary & Key Takeaways
– Vertebral fractures span high-energy burst trauma to fragility osteoporotic compression fractures.
– Kyphoplasty restores vertebral height and relieves pain instantaneously via cement augmentation.
– Unstable burst fractures require rigid percutaneous screw stabilization and canal decompression.

Evaluation of Spinal Trauma & Fragility Fractures
Fracture morphology dictates intervention—ranging from stable osteoporotic compression fractures to severe, unstable three-column burst fractures compromising spinal canal dimensions.
Percutaneous Balloon Kyphoplasty vs. Open Reconstruction
Osteoporotic fractures benefit from minimally invasive Balloon Kyphoplasty under local anesthesia, providing instant analgesia. Severe high-energy fractures require percutaneous pedicle screw fixation and spinal canal remodeling.
