Based on different surgical methods, the patients were divided into groups A (treated with RFA combined with bone cement) and B (treated with bone cement only). Group A included 35 patients with 47 segments of diseased vertebral bodies. Group B consisted of 52 patients with 78 vertebral segments.

The postoperative vertebral body height of the two groups significantly increased compared with that before surgery, and the difference was statistically significant (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). Meanwhile, no significant difference was observed between the two groups (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&gt;\u20090.05). Postoperative bone cement permeability in group A was 6.4%, and postoperative tumor recurrence rate was 11.4%.
