Authors' objectives:
Aim of the study was to identify predictive factors for the longterm success of both procedures.
Authors' recommendations:
This observational study shows that KP and VP were able to improve functionality and to reduce pain under routine care conditions. Because of between group differences in baseline characteristics direct comparision of outcomes was not feasible. Because of study limitations not all research questions could be fully answered.
Results of currently conducted randomised controlled trials should be followed. Patients should be included in registries and informed about expected benefits and harms prior to both interventions.
