Objective: This study aimed to support a non-inferiority finding for the use of a titanium implantable vertebral augmentation device (TIVAD) compared to BKP. Study design: Prospective, parallel group, controlled comparative randomized study. Patient sample: Patients who presented with one or two painful OVCFs located between T7 and L4 aged <3 months, failed conservative treatment, and had an Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) score ≥30/100 were eligible for the study. Results: Among the 141 patients (78.7% female, mean age 73.3±9.5 years) who underwent surgery (TIVAD=68; BKP=73), 126 patients (89.4%) completed the 12-month follow-up period (TIVAD=61; BKP=65). The analysis of primary endpoint on the ITT population demonstrated non-inferiority of the TIVAD to BKP. The analysis of the additional composite endpoint demonstrated the superiority of TIVAD over BKP (p<0.0001) at 6 months (88.1% vs. 60.9%) and at 12 months (79.7% vs. 59.3%). Midline VB height restoration was more improved for TIVAD than for BKP at 6 months (1.14±2.61 mm vs. 0.31±2.22 mm); p=0.0246) and 12 months after surgery (1.31±2.58 mm vs. 0.10±2.34 mm; p=0.0035). No statistically significant differences were shown between procedures for improvement in functional capacity and quality of life. Pain relief was significantly more marked in the TIVAD group compared to the BKP group at 1 month (p=0.029) and at 6 months (p=0.021) after surgery. No patient required surgical reintervention or retreatment at the treated level. No symptomatic cement leakage was reported. Adverse events were similar for both groups (41.2% in the TIVAD group and 45.2% in the BKP group). The incidence of adjacent fractures was significantly lower after the TIVAD procedure than after BKP (12.9% vs. 27.3%; p=0.043). Conclusions: Study results demonstrated non-inferiority of the TIVAD to the predicate BKP with an excellent risk/benefit profile for results up to 12 months.
