The patients were nonrandomly assigned to receive PKP (62; 16 men, 46 women) and PMCP (60; 14 men, 46 women). The epidemiological data, surgical outcomes, and clinical and radiological features were compared between the 2 groups. Cement leakage, height restoration, deformity correction, canal compromise, and cement distribution were calculated from the radiographs. Visual pain analog scale (VAS), the Oswestry disability index (ODI), and short-form 36 health survey domains role physical (SF-36 rp) and bodily pain (SF-36 bp) were calculated before surgery and immediately and 2 years after surgery.\n\nResults: Although VAS, ODI, SF-36 bp, and SF-36 rp scores improved from 7 (6-9), 71.28\u00b116.38, 22 (0-32), and 25 (0-50) preoperatively to 2 (1-3), 20.02\u00b18.97, 84 (84-84), and 75 (75-100) immediately postoperatively in the PMCP group (p&lt;0.05) and from 7 (6-8), 71.40\u00b113.52, 22 (10.5-31.75), and 25 (0-50) preoperatively to 2 (1-3), 21.78\u00b111.21, 84 (84\u201384), and 75 (75-100) immediately postoperatively in the PKP group (p&lt;0.05), there was no difference between the 2 groups. The mean cost in the PKP group was less than that in the PMCP group ($5109\u00b1231 vs. $6699\u00b1201, p&lt;0.05). Anterior, middle, and posterior vertebral body height ratios in the PMCP group were greater than those in the PKP group postoperatively (88.44%\u00b13.76% vs. 81.10%\u00b111.78%, 86.15%\u00b13.50% vs. 82.30%\u00b111.02%, and 93.91%\u00b13.01% vs. 91.43%\u00b16.71%, respectively, p&lt;0.05). The Cobb angle in the PMCP group was lower than that in the PKP group postoperatively (6.67\u00b0\u00b14.39\u00b0 vs. 8.99\u00b0\u00b14.06\u00b0, p&lt;0.05). Cement distribution in the PMCP group was higher than that in the PKP group (30.48%\u00b15.62% vs. 27.18%\u00b14.87%, p&lt;0.05). Cement leakage was observed to be lesser in the PMCP group (2\/60) than in the PKP group (10 vs. 62, p&lt;0.05).\n\nConclusion: Both PKP and PMCP treatments seem to have significant ability in pain relief and functional recovery. Despite its higher cost, PMCP treatment may have a better inhibition ability of cement leakage, cement distribution, height restoration, and improvement in segmental kyphosis than PKP treatment for osteoporotic thoracolumbar burst fractures.\nLevel of Evidence: Level II, Therapeutic Study\n\nCite this article as: Tang C, Tang X, Zhang W, Dai M, Peng M, He S.
