Randomized Controlled Trial
Percutaneous Curved Vertebroplasty Versus Unipedicular Approach Vertebroplasty for Acute Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fractures: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Prospective randomized controlled trial. ⋯ Although PCVP achieved more symmetrical cement distribution, which seemed to be associated with a greater analgesic effect, PCVP did not result in significantly greater pain relief than a UVP in the 12 months after treatment.

A systematic review of the literature to develop an algorithm formulated by key opinion leaders. ⋯ The proposed algorithm suggests a TELD for LDH located in the foraminal or extraforaminal zones at upper and lower levels and for central and subarticular discs at the upper levels considering the anatomic foraminal features and the craniocaudal pathology location. An IELD is preferred for LDH in the central or subarticular zones at L4/L5 and L5/S1, especially if a high iliac crest or high-grade migration is found.
