Biomechanical comparison between unilateral and bilateral percutaneous vertebroplasty for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures: A finite element analysis
Background and objective: The osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) has an incidence of 7.8/1000 person-years at 55–65 years. At 75 years or older, the incidence increases to 19.6/1000 person-years in females and 5.2–9.3/1000 person-years in males. To solve this problem, percutaneous ve...
