Comparison of Percutaneous Kyphoplasty Versus Modified Percutaneous Kyphoplasty for Treatment of Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fractures

摘要

BACKGROUND: Although percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) is performed to restore the vertebral body height and kyphosis in osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs), the regained height may be lost on balloon deflation. This study compares PKP with modified percutaneous kyphoplasty (MPKP) in terms of the clinical outcomes in treating OVCFs.
