Reviewer 2 Report

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of symptomatic bone cement displacement following percutaneous kyphoplasty for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture. 

 

Although the idea could be interesting, the present investigation   requires substantial improvement. In my opinion this paper contains nothing new with respect to current literature
