Biomechanical analysis of range of motion and failure characteristics of osteoporotic spinal compression fractures in human cadaver

Conclusion: The location of the needle (superior or central) and treatment type (unipedicular or bipedicular) had no significant effect on the ROM at the index site. At the adjacent levels, a significant increase occurred with therapy through a unipedicular approach into the centrum of the vertebra at the treated segment.
