Comparisons between the IVVP group and a control group, a stable group, and an unstable group were conducted. Percutaneous vertebroplasty was performed in all patients.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p content-type=\"fine-print\">There were 67 patients (10.3%) in whom there were 70 vacuum phenomena of the intravertebral space. Intravertebral vacuum phenomena occurred predominantly in the thoracolumbar junction (81%) and in patients with a longer duration of symptoms (10.6 \u00b1 9.8 months) compared with the control group. Of 59 vertebrae for which flexion\u2014extension radiographs were available, 26 vertebrae were categorized as stable and 33 as unstable. Twenty-one vertebrae (64%) had undergone compression fracture in the unstable group compared with nine (35%) compression fractures in the stable group. There were 28 (85%) fractures of the wedged vertebrae in the unstable group compared with 16 (61%) fractures in wedged vertebrae in the stable group. Percutaneous vertebroplasty was performed with successful clinical outcome.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p content-type=\"fine-print\"><jats:italic>Conclusions.<\/jats:italic> Intravertebral vacuum phenomenon is more common than has been previously appreciated. The results of this study indicate that biomechanics, not ischemic or avascular theory, may play an important role in pathogenesis of this phenomenon. Percutaneous vertebroplasty was found to be a minimally invasive and effective procedure for the treatment of IVVP.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3171\/spi.2004.100.1.0024","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,5,7]],"date-time":"2009-05-07T16:00:27Z","timestamp":1241712027000},"page":"24-31","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":50,"title":["Intravertebral vacuum phenomenon in osteoporotic compression fracture: report of 67 cases with quantitative evaluation of intravertebral instability"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"100","author":[{"given":"Dong-Yun","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sang-Ho","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jee Soo","family":"Jang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sang Ki","family":"Chung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ho-Yeon","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1","series-title":"J Spinal Disord Tech","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"118","DOI":"10.1097\/00024720-200204000-00005","article-title":"A histologic study of fractured human vertebral bodies.","volume":"15","author":"Antonacci","year":"2002"},{"key":"b2","series-title":"Spine","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"114","DOI":"10.1097\/00007632-198901000-00024","article-title":"Spontaneous unstable burst fracture of the thoracolumbar spine in osteoporosis.
