Citation Doidge J, Merlin T, Liufu Z, Tamblyn D, Jia LY, Hiller JE. Review of interim funded service: vertebroplasty and new review of kyphoplasty. Adelaide: Adelaide Health Technology Assessment (AHTA). MSAC Application 27.1. 2011 Authors' objectives In 2004–05, an MSAC assessment of vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty for the treatment of vertebral compression fracture was conducted (Medical Services Advisory Committee 2006). On the basis of the evidence presented in that report, the Minister for Health and Ageing accepted recommendations for vertebroplasty to be granted funding on an interim basis, with a planned review of funding within 5 years, and that there was insufficient evidence to support
public funding of kyphoplasty at that time. This review updates and expands upon the initial assessment of these procedures. The expanded scope of this review includes a broadening of the restrictions on the type of vertebral fracture eligible for the procedures, and includes an additional indication for kyphoplasty for treatment of painful vertebral fracture. Thus, it was necessary to add new comparators: kyphoplasty as a comparator for vertebroplasty, and conservative management as a comparator for kyphoplasty.
