Osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) has become a major public health issue that becomes more pressing with increasing global aging. Percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) is an effective treatment for OVCF. Robot-assisted PKP has been utilized in recent years to improve accuracy and reduce complications. However, the effectiveness of robot-assisted PKP in the treatment of multi-segmental OVCF has yet to be proved. This study was designed to compare the efficacy of robot-assisted and conventional fluoroscopy-assisted multi-segmental PKP. A total of 30 cases with multi-segmental OVCF between April 2019 and April 2021 were included in this study. Fifteen cases were assigned to the robot-assisted PKP group (robot group) and 15 cases to the conventional fluoroscopy-assisted PKP group (conventional fluoroscopy group). The number of fluoroscopic exposures, fluoroscopic dose, operation time, cement leakage rate, visual analog scale (VAS) score, vertebral kyphosis angle (VKA), and height of fractured vertebral body (HFV) were compared between the 2 groups. The number of fluoroscopic exposures, fluoroscopic doses, and cement leakage rates in the robot group were lower than in the conventional fluoroscopy group ( <0.05) while the operative time in the robot group was longer than in the conventional fluoroscopy group ( <0.05). VAS score and VKA were decreased and HFV was increased after surgery in both groups ( <0.05). Therefore, robot-assisted PKP for the treatment of multi-segmental OVCF can reduce the number of fluoroscopic exposures, fluoroscopic doses, and cement leakage compared to conventional treatment. As such, robot-assisted PKP has good application prospects and is potentially more effective in the treatment of multi-segmental OVCF.

Background: The distribution of bone cement after percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) affects its clinical efficacy in patients with osteoporosis. Robotic and traditional treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) have both been established as effective, but no studies have compared these 2 modalities in terms of bone cement distribution and clinical outcomes.
Objective: To compare the bone cement distribution and clinical efficacy of robot-assisted percutaneous kyphoplasty to those of fluoroscopy-assisted percutaneous kyphoplasty for the treatment of OVCFs.

Background: The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of robot-assisted surgery (RA) on the risk of new vertebral compression fracture (NVCF) and bone cement leakage in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) after percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA), including percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) and percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP).
Methods: A meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the clinical outcomes and adverse effects of RA-PVA versus fluoroscopy-assisted (FA)-PVA in patients with OVCF. A validation cohort of 385 patients who underwent PVP or PKP was retrospectively analyzed.

Background: Robot-assisted technology has been widely used in orthopedic surgery, which can provide surgeons with higher accuracy and reduce radiation exposure. In spinal surgery, robots are often used to assist pedicle screw implantation, while there are relatively few studies on robot-assisted percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) under local anesthesia.
Methods: A total of 96 patients with single-segment OVCF who met the inclusion criteria were included in this study.

This study systemically reviewed the effects of robot-assisted percutaneous kyphoplasty (R-PKP) on the clinical outcomes and complications of patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF). The articles published from the establishment of the database to 19 April 2024 were searched in PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Chinese biomedical literature service system (SinoMed). Meta-analysis was employed to evaluate the status of pain relief and complications between the control and R-PKP groups.

Percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA), which includes percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) and percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP). Robot-assisted (RA) and fluoroscopy-assisted (FA) are important methods for treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs), though it is still unclear which is superior. This analysis aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of RA and FA.
