O-arm-Assisted Balloon Kyphoplasty for the Treatment of Vertebral Compression Fractures: A Retrospective Study
O-BK appears to be a safe and accurate minimally invasive procedure for treating VCFs, especially those associated with osteoporosis. In addition to the controlled radiation dose, the procedure's safety is demonstrated by the low incidence of intraspinal cement leakages and the absence of neurological deficits. O-arm technology's enhanced imaging and navigation precision, which enables accurate and secure treatments, is a significant advantage.
