Comparative, prospective follow-up study. Comparison of outcome between patients treated with Percutaneous VertebroPlasty (PVP) using low and medium viscosity PolyMethylMetAcrylate (PMMA) bone cement. Viscosity is the characterizing parameter of PMMA bone cement, currently the standard augmentation...
