Objective:

To evaluate the effectiveness of robot-assisted percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF).

Approach:

Key Findings:

• Robot-assisted group had fewer fluoroscopy frequency (11.25 vs. 14.58).
• Shorter operative time in the robot-assisted group (36.53 min vs. 42.25 min).
• Longer preparation time in the robot-assisted group (40.16 min vs. 8.18 min).
• Both groups showed reduced VAS scores at 1 day, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months postoperatively.
• No significant differences in vertebral body height and Cobb angle between groups at 6 months.
• Lower incidence of cement leakage in the robot-assisted group.

Interpretation:

Limitations:

• Retrospective design may introduce selection bias.
• Single-center study limits generalizability.

Conclusion:
