Incidence of Cement Leakage Between Unilateral and Bilateral Percutaneous Vertebral Augmentation for Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fractures: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
World Neurosurg. 2019 Feb;122:342-348. doi: 10.1016/j.wneu.2018.10.143Six randomized controlled trials were included in this meta-analysis which sought to compare the incidence of cement leakage between unilateral percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA) and bilateral percutaneous vertebral augmentation in treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.
