Summary:Percutaneous kyphon balloon kyphoplasty has achieved encouraging results in the treatment ofosteoporotic compression fractures, both for correcting spinal deformities and relieving pain. Although kyphoplasty is a small invasion, the surgery itself has some defects such as more X-ray fluoroscopy time during the operation and accumulation of radiation dose causing harm to patients and operators, and the puncture is hard to achieve in a highly precise location.
