Dynamic Interspinous Process Distance and Adjacent Vertebral Fracture After Balloon Kyphoplasty: Preliminary Evidence From a Single-Center Cohort
Dynamic ISPD changes were significantly associated with AVF after BKP. Although this study was limited by the small sample size and event count, normalized ΔISPD appears to be a reproducible and easily obtainable radiographic marker that may aid in identifying patients at high risk for AVF. Incorporating ΔISPD into preoperative assessment could improve risk stratification, but prospective multicenter validation is warranted.
