P43. Percutaneous vertebroplasty for vertebral compression fracture in glucocorticosteroid-induced osteoporosis: a case-control study

Glucocorticoids-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) is a common form of secondary osteoporosis that often precipitates osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (VCF). Comparing to conservative therapeutic strategies for VCF, percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) could quickly relieve back pain and improve overall life quality. But recent studies demonstrate that the risk of refracture following PVP surgery is high among patients with GIOPVCF. Thus, it is vital that the outcomes of different treatments for GIOPVCF are clearly understood and the clinical guidelines for treating this disease are defined.
