N2 - Purpose: To assess long-term clinical outcome of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PV). Materials and Methods: PV was performed in 1,634 patients (1,387 women; median age 73 years ± 9.3) with painful osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (VCFs). All patients had back pain that persisted for <2 months with a concordant magnetic resonance imaging study. After PV, medical therapy for osteoporosis was continued, and patients were prospectively evaluated (follow-up 11.844.9 months, mean 25.0 months). Visual analog scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), analgesic drug use, and use of external brace support were recorded at baseline and during follow-up. New occurrences of symptomatic vertebral fractures were recorded. Results: The mean VAS score of 7.94 significantly improved to 1.12 at the primary endpoint (P 2 = 31.005, P
