Abstract
Kummell's disease (KD) is a rare clinical complication of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs). Minimally invasive surgery is an important way to treat KD. In this paper, we used Percutaneous Vertebroplasty (PVP) and Vesselplasty (VP) to treat KD. 125 patients with KD were admitted to our hospital. Among them, 89 patients received PVP and 36 received VP. All patients underwent operations successfully. VAS scores and ODI of both groups at each postoperative time point were lower than preoperatively. Postoperative Cobb angle of both groups postoperatively was lower than preoperatively (p < 0.05). The anterior height and ratio of vertebra compression of both groups postoperatively was lower than preoperatively (p < 0.05). Cement leakage occurred in 16 vertebrae (16/89) in PVP group and one (1/36) in VP group. Two patients suffered from transient paraplegia in PVP group immediately after operation. Adjacent vertebral fractures occurred in one patient in PVP group and one in VP group. Re-fracture of affected vertebra occurred in one patient in PVP group. Besides, four patients suffered from bone cement loosening in PVP group while one in VP group. Both PVP and VP play an important effect in pain relief and functional recovery for the treatment of KD. And VP is more effective than PVP in preventing cement leakage.
