Percutaneous Functional Spinal Unit Cementoplasty versus Posterior Spinal Fixation with Vertebroplasty for Symptomatic Chronic Osteoporotic Vertebral Fractures: A Retrospective Study with a 2-Year Follow up

CONCLUSION: During the treatment of SCOVFs, the combination of PFSUP and PSF + VP can restore spinal stability, improve kyphosis, and relieve pain. PFSUP can reduce blood loss and complications, early mobilization, and shorten the hospital stay, but it is associated with a higher cement leakage rate and more radiation exposure.PMID:37852750 | DOI:10.1080/08941939.2023.2257780
