A Comparison Between Unilateral Transverse Process-Pedicle and Bilateral Puncture Techniques in Percutaneous Kyphoplasty

Abstract

Both bilateral and unilateral PKP are relatively safe and provide effective treatment for patients with painful osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture. However, unilateral PKP received less radiation dose and operation time, it also offered a higher degree of deformity correction and resulted in less complication than bilateral PKP.
