UNASSIGNED: The purpose of this research was to compare the efficacy and safety of unilateral versus bilateral PKP for @entity3814 ( @entity3814 ). Six databases (Cochrane, PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, SinoMed, and CNKI) were searched without language restrictions. Twelve randomized controlled trials involving a total of 1,030 @entity1 were identified. The results indicate that unilateral PKP had a better degree of @entity158 relief (visual analog scale) than bilateral PKP (p   =   0.04; 95%CI   =   -0.36 to -0.00) with short-term follow-up (within 4 weeks) after operation. The radiological outcome assessment with short-term follow-up after operation indicates bilateral PKP had a better degree of anterior vertebral height restoration (p   =   0.03; 95%CI   =   -2.58 to -0.14). Operation time and cement dosage were less for unilateral PKP (p   <   0.05). There were no differences in complications such as cement leakage and adjacent vertebral fractures between two approaches (p   =   0.06 and p   =   0.97, respectively). Life quality assessment (SF-36) indicates unilateral PKP had a better result of @entity158 relief (p   <   0.05; 95%CI   =   3.93 to 7.48) and general health benefit (p   <   0.05; 95%CI   =   0.02 to 2.93) with short-term follow-up after operation. We suggest that a unilateral PKP is advantageous.    2015 Orthopaedic Research Society. Published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Orthop Res 33:1713-1723, 2015.
