RCTs have examined the risk of adjacent-level fracture after intervention for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. There was no difference between vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty patients compared to the natural disease history for adjacent compression fractures. This is strong evidence that interventional treatments for these fractures do not increase the risk of adjacent fractures.
