Abstract: Several techniques have been developed for simpler and safer procedures during the last 2 decades. Techniques of vertebral body augmentation have been developed in an effort to treat these refractory cases. The high-pressure injection of low viscosity of (PMMA) has potential risk for neural compromise and pulmonary embolism by uncontrolled leakage. Therefore, balloon kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty using a large cannula low- pressure injection of PMMA in a high viscosity state has been introduced. Percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) is a recently developed, minimally invasive surgical treatment for OVCF.
