Abstract
Objective To investigate the clinical application of bone filling mesh container vertebroplasty in osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs). Methods Patients with OVCF from October 2018 to April 2020 were selected. Patients in the control and study groups underwent percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) and bone filling mesh container vertebroplasty, respectively. The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA), visual analog scale (VAS) scores before and after surgery, and the incidence of complications were compared between the two groups. Results The operation time and fluoroscopy time of the study group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the injection volume of bone cement between the study group and the control group (P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in Cobb angle between the two groups. Three months after the operation, the height of the anterior edge increased and the Cobb angle decreased in the two groups (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference in the height of the anterior edge and the Cobb angle between the two groups (P > 0.05). The JOA scores increased, while the ODI and VAS scores decreased in both groups after surgery (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the total effective rate between the study group (96.15%) and the control group (92.31%) (P > 0.05). The incidence of complications in the study group (3.85%) was significantly lower than that in the control group (15.38%) (P < 0.05). Conclusions For the treatment of OVCFs, bone filling mesh container vertebroplasty is comparable to PKP in terms of functional recovery, but it can safely reduce operative time, fluoroscopy time, and complication rates.
