Inclusion criteria: 1. Single-segment OVCF in middle-aged and elderly patients caused by low-energy trauma (falls, bending over); 2. Significant low back pain or limited mobility; 3. MRI shows clear signs of fracture in the thoracolumbar spine; 4. Patients who have undergone PKP surgery; 5. Within 2-3 years after PKP treatment, patients may have NVCF at levels other than the original fracture vertebrae, with or without symptoms; 6. Follow-up period of 2-3 years or more, with NVCF occurring 3 months or more after PKP surgery; 7. Intact posterior vertebral wall, fracture does not affect the spinal canal; 8.
