Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) are a common complication of osteoporosis, particularly in elderly populations. Percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) is a minimally invasive procedure that provides pain relief and spinal stability for patients with OVCF. However, new vertebral compression fractures (NVCF) can occur in 2% to 38% of patients following PKP, posing a significant clinical challenge.

Background: Optimal management of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) remains controversial. This network meta‑analysis (NMA) evaluated the relative efficacy and safety of third‑generation percutaneous vertebral augmentation (TVA), percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP), percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP), and non‑surgical management (NSM) in OVCFs.
Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science was conducted from inception to February 1, 2025, to identify clinical trials comparing ≥ 2 of these interventions.

Background: Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) lead to posture restrictions, back muscle fatigue, difficulty walking, impaired lung function, an increased risk of disability, and severe pain. Collectively, these symptoms significantly diminish patients' quality of life. While non-surgical management is often attempted, it may prove inadequate for cases involving walking difficulties and sagittal imbalance.

Background And Objectives: Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) represent a growing healthcare challenge in aging populations. This retrospective study evaluates the safety and efficacy of robot-assisted percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) performed under local anesthesia within a day-surgery framework.
Methods: Clinical data from 127 patients with OVCFs who underwent robot-assisted PKP under local anesthesia in a day-surgery setting at the First People's Hospital of Kunshan between May 2022 and April 2024 were retrospectively analyzed.

Introduction: Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) is a minimally invasive procedure commonly used to alleviate pain and stabilise vertebral compression fractures caused by osteoporosis. Although generally safe, the procedure carries the risk of rare complications, such as epidural haematomas.
Presentation Of Case: We present the case of a 67-year-old woman who underwent PVP for an abnormal pedicle structure associated with an osteoporotic compression fracture that led to the subsequently development of an epidural haematoma.
