Study on the PVP treatment and sequential nursing of osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture

Abstract

Objective To explore the surgical treatment and nursing effect of the vertebral body compression fracture caused by osteoporosis. Methods A total of 60 patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures were selected.According to the random number table method, they were divided into observation group and control group, 30 cases of each group.The control group received unilateral vertebroplasty and routine nursing, while the observation group received unilateral vertebroplasty and sequential nursing.The lumbar function (Japanese Orthopaedics Association, JOA) score, visual analogue scale (VAS), length of hospital stay, complication rate and patient satisfaction were observed before and after intervention. Results After treatment, the JOA score and VAS score of both groups were significantly improved compared with those before treatment, and the improvement in the observation group was better than that in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). The clinical efficacy of the observation group was significantly better than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). The difference of hospitalization time between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). The incidence of complications between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions Sequential nursing is helpful to improve JOA, VAS score of patients with osteoporosis vertebral compression fracture treated by unilateral vertebroplasty, shorten the hospitalization time, reduce the incidence of complications, and improve patient satisfaction, which is better than conventional nursing.
