Core Tip

Core Tip: Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) is an effective method for the treatment of neurologically intact Kümmell’s disease, but bone cement leakage during surgery is a problem that deserves attention. In our study, we found that sequential infusion in unipedicular PVP is a safe and effective procedure for neurologically intact Kümmell’s disease, and this technique could decrease the incidence of bone cement leakage.
