Percutaneous Vertebroplasty Versus Balloon Kyphoplasty in the Treatment of Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fractures: Evaluating the Overlapping Meta-analyses.

Numerous meta-analyses and systematic reviews have explored the differences between percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and percutaneous balloon kyphoplasty (PKP) for treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs), however, their final conclusions have been inconsistent. The inconsistent conclusions drawn from these meta-analyses create uncertainty among clinicians about the best treatment approach for OVCFs.
