Patients were divided into Group A and Group B based on whether they underwent postural reduction during balloon expansion. Clinical evaluation included Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores for back pain; Radiographic evaluation included lumbar lordosis angle (LL), anterior vertebral height (AVH) and rate (AVHr).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      There were no significant differences in baseline clinical and radiographic parameters between the two groups (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&amp;gt;\u20090.05).
