Abstract Purpose: Vertebral body stenting (VBS) was developed to prevent @entity393 during kyphoplasty. The aim of this study is the radiological and clinical mid-term evaluation of traumatic incomplete @entity174 treated by vertebral body stenting. Material and methods: This retrospective study included @entity1 with @entity174 treated with VBS between 2009 and 2010. The outcome was evaluated with the visual analogue @entity158 scale (VAS), the @entity717 Score (ODI), the SF-36 Health Survey and radiologically assessed. Results: Eighteen @entity1 with an average age of 74.8 years were treated with VBS. Twelve were female and six were male. Two years after the operation the ODI and SF-36 showed a moderate limitation of daily activities and quality of life without @entity51 . VBS restored the @entity1513 by 3.2   and segmental @entity1513 by 5  . A minor sintering was observed at follow-up losing 0.8   @entity1513 and 2.1   segmental @entity1513 correction. Two asymptomatic cement leakages were detected. Conclusion: VBS provides clinical outcomes comparable with BKP. The stent allows a reconstruction of the anterior column with reduced subsequent loss of correction.
