* Abstract reported that analysis favoured vertebroplasty at 1 day and 1 week for pain, and disability measured by RMDQ and ODI (data not provided), but no evidence of important differences between groups at 1, 3, 6, 12 months for pain, RMDQ, ODI and SF‐36 function and SF‐36 physical and mental component scores. After 12 months follow‐up, there were 13 new fractures in the percutaneous vertebroplasty group and 11 new fractures in the facet joint block group. Abstract did not report method of randomisation, whether or not treatment allocation was concealed and whether or not participants and investigators were blinded to treatment allocation.
