Abstract:
[Summary] With the increasing global aging population, osteoporosis vertebral compression fracture ( OVCF) is getting more attention as a big challenge for orthopedic surgeons.Current therapeutic options include conservative treatment, traditional open reduction and internal fixation, percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP), and percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP).Due to excellent clinical results on pain relief and function improvement, PVP and PKP, as minimally invasive surgical techniques, now increasingly become more popular for painful OVCF.The review focused on a brief introduction of the current status of the two procedures and a discussion of the future trends of the two techniques.
