Forearm bone mineral density as a predictor of adjacent vertebral refracture after percutaneous kyphoplasty in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture: a retrospective analysis
Forearm BMD is an independent risk factor for re-fracture of adjacent vertebrae after PKP. In addition, forearm BMD, as a valid indicator of postoperative re-fracture after PKP in patients with OVCF, and the HU value of lumbar spine CT were both powerful tools for predicting re-fracture.
