How to treat vertebral compression fractures caused by osteoporosis? PVP or PKP?

Vertebral compression fractures caused by osteoporosis can be treated with two main methods: PVP and PKP. PVP (Percutaneous Vertebroplasty) involves injecting bone cement into the fractured vertebra to stabilize the bone and relieve pain. PKP (Percutaneous Kyphoplasty) involves using a small balloon to lift the vertebra before injecting the bone cement, which helps restore some height. Both methods effectively relieve pain and improve quality of life. The choice between the two should be based on the patient's specific condition and the doctor's recommendation.
