Additional information

It is the policy of the journal to collect conflict of interest data from all authors prior to publication of an article. While we do not publish that information, it is available should questions arise. In the interest of complete disclosure, the editorial office received a statement from the authors prior to publication of the original article on kyphoplasty [1]. The authors indicated prior support from Kyphon, but noted that the educational grant had ended before their study began. The editors believe that it did not constitute a significant conflict at that time.
