    Self-reported fracture-associated pain before and after sacroplasty or vertebroplasty. Patients who had a sacroplasty reported a 65.1% decrease in fracture-related pain after the procedure. Patients who had a vertebroplasty reported a 65.8% decrease in fracture-related pain after the procedure.
