Abstract
This paper aims to investigate the feasibility, treatment points, and clinical effects of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) assisted by 3D printed individual positioning guides for senile osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF). Percutaneous vertebroplasty assisted by 3D printed individual positioning guides were used to treat 30 diseased vertebrae of 30 elderly female patients with compression fractures. The NRS and ODI score were compared before the operation, 1 day after the operation, 1 week after the operation, 1 month and 3 months after the operation. All patients successfully completed the operation, and followed up for 3 months. Through statistical analysis of patients’ NRS scores and ODI scores, the difference was significantly improved 1 day before and after surgery (P <0.001), and there was no statistical difference between 1 and 3 months after surgery (P>0.05). The improved Macnab score was excellent and good rate Reaching 97%. Preoperative 3D printed individual positioning guide assisted positioning help to reduce the radiation exposures, surgical risks, shorten the surgical time, and obtain good curative effects, high safety, and clinical application value.
