Evaluation of an Injectable Biphasic Calcium Sulfate/Hydroxyapatite Cement for the Augmentation of Fenestrated Pedicle Screws in Osteoporotic Vertebrae: A Biomechanical Cadaver Study

Evaluation of an Injectable Biphasic Calcium Sulfate/Hydroxyapatite Cement for the Augmentation of Fenestrated Pedicle Screws in Osteoporotic Vertebrae: A Biomechanical Cadaver Study

Cement augmentation of pedicle screws is one of the most promising approaches to enhance the anchoring of screws in the osteoporotic spine. To date, there is no ideal cement for pedicle screw augmentation. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether an injectable, bioactive, and degradable...
