UNASSIGNED: Although it is known that a change in any level of the spine alters biomechanics, there are not many studies to evaluate the spine as a whole in both sagittal and frontal planes. This prospective cohort study evaluates the morphology and mobility of the entire spine in @entity1 with @entity174 . The Treatment Group consisted of 43 @entity1 who underwent percutaneous balloon kyphoplasty or percutaneous balloon kyphoplasty plus fixation. The Control Group consisted of 39 healthy subjects. Spinal @entity19 was used for the assessment of the curvatures and the mobility of the spine. Clinical outcomes were evaluated by Visual Analogue Scale and @entity717 Index. The measurements were recorded at 15 days and 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. Regarding the curvatures and mobility in sagittal plane, a statistically significant increase appeared early at 3 months, for lumbar curve, spinopelvic angulation, and overall trunk inclination. In the frontal plane, most of the improvements were recorded after 6 months. @entity1 with @entity3604 showed statistically significant lower mean value than @entity1 with @entity174 . @entity158 and disability index showed early improvements. This study provides a comprehensive and complete picture of the functionality of the spine in @entity1 treated with percutaneous balloon kyphoplasty.
