Abstract
In this study, we aimed to analyze the risk factors of bone cement leakage in percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs), and provide suggestions for reducing bone cement leakage. A retrospective study of 517 cases of OVCFs treated with PKP were divided into 2 groups according to whether they had bone cement leakage or not, leakage group (n= 72) and non-leakage group (n= 445). The risk factors of leakage were systematically analyzed using clinical baseline data, imaging observation data, and surgery-related factors. To select the statistically significant results (P < 0.05) among the risk factors mentioned above, we used the binary logistic regression method to identify the main risk factors. The univariate analysis of clinical baseline data,imaging observation data, and surgery-related factors showed that bone mineral density (BMD) (P < 0.001), hypertension (P < 0.05), injury factors (P < 0.01), cortical defect (P < 0.001), grade of vertebral compression (P < 0.001), surgical approach (P < 0.05), stage of bone cement injection (P < 0.01), and balloon pressure (P < 0.05) were the risk factors for bone cement leakage. The recovery rate of vertebral height, and the Cobb angle correction rate were lower in the bone cement leakage group (P < 0.001). The correction effect of kyphosis after operation was limited. Binary logistic analysis results showed that BMD (odds ratio [OR] 5.605), cortical defect (OR 3.115), and stage of bone cement injection (OR 2.385) were bone cement leakage-independent risk factors. Impairment of BMD value, defects of cortical bone, and inappropriate stage of bone cement injection will increase the risk of bone cement leakage in PKP treatment and limit PKP effects.
