Combined Application of Grid Body Surface Locator and Preemptive Analgesia in Daytime Vertebroplasty.

Abstract

Objective To explore the clinical advantages of grid body surface locator combined with preemptive analgesia in the treatment of osteoporotic lumbar fractures in daytime vertebroplasty. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 120 patients who underwent lumbar vertebroplasty in the Department of Orthopedics of General Hospital of Northern Theater Command from January 2017 to January 2020. According to the preoperative planning and analgesic mode of treatment, they were divided into the daily operation experimental group and the traditional mode control group. Prone positioning of a patient under anesthetic is safe of ensuring optimum surgical access for many procedures, providing that the risks are fully understood. The general baseline data, intraoperative fluoroscopy times and operation time, bone cement injection volume, bone cement permeability, VAS score before operation, 1 day, and 3 months after operation, and the recovery of anterior vertebral height before and after operation were analyzed. Results There was no statistically significant difference in the preoperative general data between the two groups. One day after operation, the VAS score of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group, but there was no difference after 3 months. The permeability of bone cement in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group, the height of anterior edge of injured vertebra was better than that in the control group, and the operation time was less than that in the control group. Conclusion The daytime operation experimental group can significantly alleviate postoperative pain, increase the amount of bone cement injection, and reduce the permeability of bone cement through preoperative planning of puncture path and key puncture points, combined with advanced labor pain, but there is no significant difference in long-term pain relief.
