Study Design: A retrospective study. Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of unilateral extrapedicular approach in the treatment of osteoporotic compression fracture,as compared to transbipedicular approach. Summary of Literature Review: There has been no comparative study assessing this topic. Materials and Methods: 115 patients presenting with percutaneous vertebroplasty between Mar. 2002 and Feb. 2009, were divided into three groups: Group A (43 vertebrae; 29 patients) who were treated with bipedicular approach, Group B (66 vertebrae; 47 patients)treated with early cases of unilateral extrapedicular approach, and Group C (43 vertebrae; 39 patients) treated with late cases of unilateral extrapedicular approach. We analyzed radiological test results including the volume of injected cement and the distribution of intravertebral body, cement leakage, height restoration and kyphosis correction. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS. Clinical results were analyzed using VAS scores. Results: The mean follow-up period varied from one year at minimum to seven years and six months at maximum. The mean volume of injected cement was 3.39cc/5.39cc/3.79cc for groups A, B and C respectively. Cement leakage was at 13.4/34.8/12.8% in each group. Cement leakage was higher in group B, but most leakage took place in early cases that we tried to inject more and more cement in early inexperienced period. Bilaterally well distributed cement in the vertebral body was at 85.7/76.9% in groups B and C respectively. VAS scores improved from 8.4/8.3/8.5 preoperatively to 2.0/2.0/1.6 postoperatively. Conclusions: Percutaneous vertebroplasty treated with unilateral extrapedicular approach can lessen perioperative operating
