A Modified Unilateral Extrapedicular Approach Applied to Percutaneous Kyphoplasty to Treat Lumbar Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fracture: A Retrospective Analysis.

Modified unilateral extrapedicular PKP, in which the puncture trajectory was advanced through the bottom of Kambin's triangle to or across the midline of VB for proper bilateral cement distribution, greatly alleviated back pain and restored the morphology of fractured vertebrae. It seemed to be a safe and effective alternative applied to treat lumbar OVCFs with appropriate patient selection.
