This study assessed the one-year clinical and radiographic outcomes, in terms of @entity158 -relief, vertebral re- @entity174 and complications, after vertebroplasty (VP) using a new osteoconductive cement (calcium triglyceride bone cement - Kryptonite    bone cement, Doctors Research Group Inc., Southbury, CT, USA) to treat @entity3814 . Sixteen consecutive @entity3604 @entity1 (12 @entity1 and four @entity1 , mean age 68+/-10.5) were treated with VP using Kryptonite    bone cement for a total of 20 @entity174 . All the @entity1 complained of a @entity158 resistant to medical therapy and all procedures were performed under fluoroscopy control with neuroleptoanalgesia using a monopedicular approach in 12 @entity1 and bipedicular approach in four @entity1 . All @entity1 were studied by MR and MDCT and were evaluated with the visual analogue scale (VAS) and the @entity717 index (ODI) before treatment and at one and 12 months after the procedure. A successful outcome was observed in 80% of @entity1 , with a complete resolution of @entity158 . Differences in pre and post treatment VAS and ODI at one-year follow-up were significant (P<0.0001). We observed a disk and @entity1211 in 66% of @entity1 but only in one case did an asymptomatic @entity1151 occur during cement injection. Two cases of vertebral re- @entity174 at distant metamers were observed during follow-up. VP using Kryptonite bone cement is a helpful procedure that allows complete and long-lasting resolution of painful @entity1109 . The cost of the material is very high and the rate of disk and @entity1211 is too high compared to standard cement.
