Fig. 4From: Comparison of a directional cement delivery device versus conventional device in unilateral percutaneous kyphoplasty for the therapy of osteoporotic thoracolumbar fracture in the elderlyMeasurement of bone cement distribution. Orange dotted line represents the midline of the vertebral body. Orange a represents the distribution of the bone cement on the non-puncture side. Orange b represents the distribution of the bone cement on the puncture side. a/(a + b) ≥ 10% is defined as excellent distribution; a/(a + b) < 10% is defined as poor distributionBack to article page
