Arms

Arm NameArm Description
VertebroplastyBone biopsy needles at vertebral body positioned bilaterally, using standard transpedicular placements with local anesthetic (1% lidocaine into each pedicle followed by 0.25% ropivacaine) unless conscious sedation required (50 μg fentanyl in 22% of patients), PMMA injection stopped when cement leakage was noticed via CT (mean PMMA volume 5.1 ml [SD 1.8]). In participants with multiple fractures, all were treated.
Sham vertebroplastyStab incisions at level of the vertebral body, local anesthetic as above, PMMA prepared in close proximity to the participants to duplicate mixing sound and smell; simulated procedure using verbal and physical cues.
