New vertebral fractures after osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture between balloon kyphoplasty and nonsurgical treatment PRISMA.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Because of aging of population, osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) appears an increasing incidence rate. Conservative therapy (CT) and balloon kyphoplasty (BKP) have been used to treat OVCFs. However, an increase in new vertebral compression fractures at nontreated levels following BKP is of concern. It is still not clear whether new fractures were a result of BKP and the purpose of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the new fractures risk after BKP compared with CT.

Methods

An exhaustive literature search of PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library was conducted to identify randomized controlled trials and prospective nonrandomized controlled study that compared BKP with CT for patients suffering OVCF. A random-effect model was used. Results were
