Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are minimally invasive procedures aimed at relieving symptoms associated with vertebral compression fractures. They have become accepted, highly effective, safe procedures, and are known for their high patient satisfaction rates. Although they are image-guided percutaneous spine therapies, differences do exist. They have each arisen from different backgrounds and are championed by different subspecialties and each involves slightly different techniques. In addition, a prospective, randomized trial comparing the two techniques has yet to be performed. This lack of objective data allows market forces and opinions to have a large influence on utilization and patient referral.
椎体成形术和后凸成形术是旨在缓解与椎体压缩性骨折相关症状的微创手术。它们已成为被广泛接受、高效且安全的手术，以患者高满意度而闻名。尽管它们是影像引导下的经皮脊柱治疗方法，但两者确实存在差异。它们各自源于不同背景，由不同亚专业倡导，且每种手术涉及的技术略有不同。此外，尚未进行比较这两种技术的前瞻性随机试验。这种客观数据的缺乏使得市场力量和观点对其应用及患者转诊产生很大影响。
