Summary: Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures are a common consequence of osteoporosis and a major healthcare crisis worldwide. The management of these fractures requires pain management and fracture stabilization. A meta-analysis compared vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty in terms of clinical outcomes for these fractures.

Summary: The study retrospectively analyzed 2344 patients who underwent PVP or PKP for OVCFs. It found that multiple involved vertebrae, thoracic fracture, operation timing, and operation methods are independent risk factors for PCE. The real incidence of PCE may be underestimated without routine postoperative pulmonary imaging examination.

Summary: The aim of this study was to evaluate the radiological, clinical, and functional outcomes of patients with osteoporotic vertebral body fractures treated with Balloon Kyphoplasty and Vertebroplasty. The study found that percutaneous vertebroplasty had shorter operative time and lower cost compared to balloon kyphoplasty. The postoperative outcomes were similar between the two procedures.

Summary: In comparison to NSM, the study shows that VP/BKP can reduce the 12-month risk of all-cause mortality and morbidity in patients with OVCFs by 19% and 36%, respectively. Furthermore, VP/BKP reduces the 12-month risk of infection from any origin by 77%.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis compares the efficacy and safety between percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) or percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and percutaneous curved vertebralplasty (PCVP) for the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs). The meta-analysis includes seven studies with a total of 562 patients. The results show that PCVP is superior to PVP/KP in terms of pain relief at short-term follow-up and has advantages of lower surgical time, radiation exposure, bone cement infusion volume, and cement leakage incidence when compared to bilateral PVP. However, there is no significant difference in terms of quality of life and radiologic outcomes between PCVP and PVP/KP.

Summary: The objective of this study was to investigate the mid-term to long-term effects of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and balloon kyphoplasty (BK) on the structural integrity of augmented vertebrae. A total of 351 patients who underwent BK and PVP for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures between 2010 and 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. The results showed that the height loss of augmented vertebral bodies in mid-to long term was not prevented by BK.

Summary: This study compared the clinical efficacy of PCKP and bilateral PKP in treating OVCF. It found that while both groups showed improvement in VAS and ODI scores at 24 hours and 6 months after surgery, the PCKP group had significantly reduced surgical time and bone cement injection volume compared to the PKP group.

Summary: This study compared the clinical efficacy of PVP and PKP in treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures with kyphosis. The results showed that PVP had a shorter operative time and was more economical, while both methods had similar outcomes in terms of pain relief and functional recovery. PKP showed more significant improvements in vertebral height, wedge angle, and local kyphotic angle post-operatively.

Summary: This study compared the innovative DPKP procedure with conventional BPKP for treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. The results showed that DPKP is as safe and effective as BPKP in relieving pain, improving patients' quality of life, and reconstructing vertebral body height. DPKP also reduced operative time and radiation exposure compared to BPKP.

Summary: The study concluded that percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA) does not increase the incidence of subsequent adjacent fractures, whether clinical or radiological, but does increase the number of subsequent fractures at adjacent vertebral levels.

Summary: This study evaluated the effectiveness of percutaneous vertebroplasty in treating traumatic non-osteoporotic compression vertebral fractures. The results showed that the procedure reduced pain, improved functionality, reduced medication use, and significantly affected kyphotic angles.

Summary: A nomogram was developed to predict NVCFs after vertebral augmentation in patients with OVCFs. The model showed good discrimination and calibration in both the training and validation cohorts, providing a useful tool for identifying high-risk patients for postoperative VCFs. Postoperative management strategies should be considered for patients identified as high risk by this nomogram.

Summary: This study compared the outcomes of PVP-HVC and PKP for the treatment of OVCF. The results showed that PVP-HVC was superior to PKP in terms of risk of cement leakage and operation time. However, TSA analysis suggested that more evidence is needed to confirm the reduction in leakage. PKP resulted in a significant decrease in Cobb's angles postoperatively. There were no significant differences between the two procedures in terms of injected cement volume, VAS, ODI, and risk of adjacent vertebral fractures.

Summary: The meta-analysis suggests that facet joint block may be considered as a complementary treatment for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF), but it may not be effectively used as an alternative therapy.

Summary: Zoledronic acid combined with PKP has better outcomes in treating OVCFs, including higher BMD, better quality of life, and fewer additional vertebral body fractures compared to PKP alone.
