Lin J, et al. - Authors evaluated the role of bone cement distribution in predicting percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF). In unilateral PKP for OVCFs, a potential predictor to the reconstructive effects was the bone cement distribution. Findings suggested an association of bone cement distribution with anterior vertebral height restoration rate (AVHRR) and bone cement volume (BV), as well as the risk of BE occurrence. Better vertebral restoration along with a higher BE risk could be indicated with greater bone cement distribution.
