Effect of vertebral kyphoplasty versus vertebroplasty on pain and indicators of imaging parameters of the injured vertebrae in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures: a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To systematically evaluate the effects of vertebroplasty (VP) and kyphoplasty (KP) on pain and spinal imaging parameters in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF).

Methods

A comprehensive search of eight databases was conducted from inception to November 2024 to identify randomised controlled trials (RCTs) published in Chinese and English. Eligible studies included clinical RCTs comparing KP and VP in patients with OVCF, assessing vertebral pain and imaging parameters. Risk of bias and methodological quality were assessed using the Cochrane Appraisal Tool. Combined effects were calculated using a random effects model. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I² test.

Results

A total of 16 randomised controlled trials involvi
