ABSTRACT

Along with the aging of population in China,more and more people suffer from osteoporosis.As a consequence,osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture has become one of the major clinical issues.More and more patients like to take percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) as the preferred treatment,thus,the number of patients who develop recurrent vertebral fracture after PVP is also increased.In recent years,more and more attention has been paid to the recurrent fractures after PVP for vertebral compression fractures by clinicians.In order to reduce the incidence of recurrent vertebral fracture after PVP,it is necessary to make the further and deep studies on the risk factors that cause recurrent vertebral fractures.This paper aims to make a comprehensive review about the risk factors that may cause recurrent vertebral fractures after PVP for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture.
