An observational study in Vertebral Compression Fractures, Pathological Fracture and Facet Joint Arthropathy, sponsored by Prof Nicolas Theumann. Recruiting at 1 site in Switzerland. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-10-21.
Sponsored by Prof Nicolas Theumann · Observational
The purpose of this study is to collect clinical and radiographic outcomes in patients undergoing vertebroplasty procedures for the treatment of osteoporotic or pathological fractures of the vertebral body to understand the role of sagittal balance in patient outcomes. To support this objective, the sagittal balance measurement of sagittal vertical axis (SVA), NRS back pain, Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale (Quebec) score, and complications will be collected. The secondary purpose of the study is to review the role of sagittal balance and adjacent facet joint arthropathy treatment in patients with vertebral body fractures due to osteoporosis or tumor.
27 studies on the registry are indexed under Fractures, Spontaneous; 7 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 130 is below the median of 150 across 11 observational studies indexed under Fractures, Spontaneous.
