Abstract: OBJECTIVE: It remains disputed whether percutaneous curved vertebroplasty and unilateral pedicle approach percutaneous vertebroplasty in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture. This study systematically analyzed the efficacy and safety of percutaneous curved vertebroplasty and unilateral pedicle approach percutaneous vertebroplasty in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture. 
METHODS: A computer-based online search of Wanfang, VIP, CNKI, PubMed, EMBASE, The Cochrane library, and CBM was performed to retrieve randomized controlled trial studies regarding percutaneous curved vertebroplasty and unilateral pedicle approach percutaneous vertebroplasty in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture published before January 2020. Related papers were manually searched. After two evaluators independently selected literature, data were extracted and the quality of methodology included in the study was evaluated. Meta-analysis was carried out by using Stata/SE 12.0 software.
RESULTS: (1) A total of eight randomized controlled trials were conducted, including 628 patients, of whom 394 were treated with percutaneous curved vertebroplasty and 404 with unilateral pedicle approach percutaneous vertebroplasty. (2) The meta-analysis results showed that visual analogue scale score [MD=-0.20, 95%CI(-0.28, -0.12), P < 0.05], the leakage rate of bone cement [RR=0.30, 95%CI(0.15, 0.58), P < 0.05], and the total distribution rate of bone cement in the center of vertebral body [RR=1.27, 95%CI(1.12, 1.45), P < 0.05] were better in the percutaneous curved vertebroplasty group than those in the unilateral pedicle approach percutaneous vertebroplasty group. (3) There was no significant difference in Oswestry disability index score [MD=-4.83, 95%CI (-9.71, 0.05), P=0.052], operation time [MD=-1.45, 95%CI(-5.91, 2.82), P=0.488]and X-ray exposure times [MD=-0.70, 95%CI(-2.11, 0.71), P=0.33] between the two methods.  
CONCLUSION: Percutaneous curved vertebroplasty exhibits significant advantages in analgesic effect, low leakage rate of bone cement and the high total distribution rate of bone cement in the center over unilateral pedicle approach percutaneous vertebroplasty. Therefore, a large number of high-quality multicenter randomized controlled trials are needed to provide more evidence.
