Abstract

This study intends to analyze the causes on poor clinical efficacy of kyphoplasty performed in unilateral transpedicular puncture for the treatment of senile osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. A retrospective study was conducted on a consecutive series of 70 patients who had underwent kyphoplasty performed in unilateral transpedicular puncture for the treatment of senile osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures between March 2016 to March 2017. These patients were compared for clinical data to investigate the causes on poor clinical efficacy of kyphoplasty performed in unilateral transpedicular puncture for the treatment of senile osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. Comparison result of the indices between these patients showed that the differences in body weight, fracture type and bone cement dispersion were statistically significant. Logistic multivariate regression analysis showed body weight (OR = 0.892, p = 0.042), fracture type 2 (OR = 0.089, p = 0.020) and bone cement dispersion (OR = 4.773, p = 0.025) are risk factors for poor clinical efficacy. The results of corresponding analysis on VAS (Visual Analogue Scale), vertebral height and Cobb angle in patients with poor clinical efficacy showed that there is a correlation between them. We believe that patients’ weight, dispersion degree of bone cement and fracture type of injured vertebra are the risk factors of kyphoplasty with poor clinical efficacy.

Highlights

  • This study intends to analyze the causes on poor clinical efficacy of kyphoplasty performed in unilateral transpedicular puncture for the treatment of senile osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures

  • These patients were compared for clinical data to investigate the causes on poor clinical efficacy of kyphoplasty performed in unilateral transpedicular puncture for the treatment of senile osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures

  • The curative effect of kyphoplasty for the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures is definite, through which pain can be quickly relieved, bed rest time reduced, normal living conditions restored in shortest time possible, quality of life improved, and incidence rate of complications in elderly patients caused by factors such as long-term bed rest and decreased activity reduced

Summary

Introduction

This study intends to analyze the causes on poor clinical efficacy of kyphoplasty performed in unilateral transpedicular puncture for the treatment of senile osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. A retrospective study was conducted on a consecutive series of 70 patients who had underwent kyphoplasty performed in unilateral transpedicular puncture for the treatment of senile osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures between March 2016 to March 2017. In clinical use of unilateral transpedicular percutaneous kyphoplasty for the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, we found that some patients had no significant relief of postoperative pain symptoms or still had residual partial pain. The purpose of this study was to treat osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures by unilateral transpedicular percutaneous kyphoplasty and to conduct clinical analysis for the patients with poor clinical efficacy, in order to explore related mechanism resulting in this poor clinical efficacy
