  1. Values are given as mean ± SD. VAS indicates visual analog scale, ODI indicates Oswestry disability index. Changes of compression rate and local kyphotic angle showed the difference of compression rate and local kyphotic angle between preoperation and 1-year follow-up; Changes of VAS and ODI showed the difference in visual analog scale and Oswestry disability index between preoperation and 1-year follow-up
