Background: To investigate the clinical outcomes of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) versus percutaneous vertebroplasty combined with pediculoplasty (PVP-PP) for Kümmell's disease (KD).
Methods: Between February 2017 and November 2020, 76 patients with KD undergoing PVP or PVP-PP were included in this retrospective study. Based on the PVP whether combined with pediculoplasty, those patients were divided into PVP group (n = 39) and PVP-PP group (n = 37).

Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluates surgical strategies for treating cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) specifically in the C segment, discussing various surgical methods.
- - Different surgical options include laminectomy for multiple segments, canal-expansive laminoplasty for specific cases, and the Shelter technique for severe encroachment, each with unique pros and cons such as mobility loss, complication risks, and effectiveness.
- - The authors conclude that while posterior surgery is the main approach for C segment OPLL, its complexity and limited long-term effectiveness due to progressive ossification necessitate further research.
Article Synopsis
- * PMMA-PS group experienced longer operation times and higher hospitalization costs, but both groups showed similar improvements in pain and disability scores post-surgery, with high fusion rates of 100% for PMMA-PS and 96.15% for CPS.
- * The findings suggest that while PMMA-PS showed no significant benefits in screw stability or overall outcomes compared to CPS, the routine use of PMMA-PS in such cases is not recommended due
