Osteoporosis is a common orthopedic disease with a high incidence in the elderly population.The vertebral compression fracture,also known as osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture(OVCF),occurs in daily activities due to decreased bone strength and in-creased bone fragility after osteoporosis.Percutaneous vertebroplasty(PVP)is an effective method for OVCF,but clinical studies have found that recurrent vertebral fractures might happened secondary to PVP,with increasing the pain and burden of patients.These phenome-na have attracted the attention of orthopedic clinicians,and more and more scholars have studied the causes and mechanisms of its occur-rence.In this paper,the epidemiology,temporal and spatial characteristics,and related risk factors of recurrent fractures after PVP for OVCF in recent years were reviewed,so as to provide references for clinical workers to reduce the probability of recurrent fractures after PVP.
