Abstract：Objective To compare the short-term effects between PKP and PVP when treating endplate involved OVCFs.Methods Thirty-four patients(34 vertebrae) who suffered from endplate involved OVCFs and were treated by PKP or PVP were systematically reviewed.These patients consisted of 9 males and 25 females,with age ranged from 56 to 87 years,65.1 years on average.The average course of disease was (4±2.7) days.The restoration of the vertebral height and Cobb angle,cement leakage and consumption,operating time,and VAS scores were analyzed and compared.Results With one-month follow-up,the data showed that the PKP with balloon inflation appeared to be better in restoring the height of the middle vertebra than PVP,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The Cobb angle,cement leakage and consumption,operating time,and VAS scores were found not statistically different between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion 1.Balloon inflation helps restore the vertebral height in endplate involved OVCFs and thus it is recommended.But PKP cannot reduce the risk of cement leakage.2.When inflating the balloon,controlling the pressure slightly less than the maximum of the instruction can avoid balloon bursting.
