Methods： Eighty-six patients with VCF were treated either by PKP （ Group A, n ffi 30） ） or PS （ Group B, n ffi 56）. The anterior, intermediate, and posterior heights of the vertebrae body , visual analogue pain scale （VAS） before and after operation, the duration of operation, and amount of blood loss between two groups were compared. Results ： No statistical difference was noted regarding the vertebral height between two groups. Significant difference was seen in VAS, duration of operation and amount of blood loss between the two groups （P 〈0. 01 ）. Conclusions： Percutaneous kyphoplasty has the similar therapeutic efficacy with pedicle screw system in treatment of VCF with a mininlal invasion, less operation time and blood loss. For those with posterior wall destruction, PS is deemed favorable.展开更多
