Comparative biomechanical study of a new transpedicular vertebral device and vertebroplasty for the treatment or prevention of vertebral compression fractures

These results show the ability of V-STRUT© combined with bone cement to reinforce the vertebral body strength, with an at least equivalent biomechanical performance as vertebroplasty. Further clinical investigation needs to be undertaken to demonstrate any clinical superiority of V-STRUT© over vertebroplasty.
