Comparison of bone cementoplasty and percutaneous kyphoplasty in therapy of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures

Abstract

Objective To compare the effects of bone cementoplasty and percutaneous kyphoplasty on osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. Methods Sixty-six patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures from March 2012 to January 2015 were selected as research subjects. The 66 patients were divided into control group and observation group, with 33 cases in each group. The observation group were given bone cementoplasty, and the control group were treated with percutaneous kyphoplasty. Before and after treatment, the pain score changes and adverse reaction incidence rate were compared. Results The total effective rate of the observation group was 93.94%, and that of the control group was 90.91%, there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in VAS scores between the two groups before and after treatment (P>0.05). After treatment, the VAS scores of the observation group and the control group were significantly lower than those before treatment, and the differences were significant (P<0.05); The incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was 3.03%, and that of the control group was 27.27%, the difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusions Using bone cementoplasty and percutaneous kyphoplasty for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures can achieve remarkable results, but the bone cementoplasty has low incidence of adverse reactions, has certain safety, it is worthy of promotion.
