Abstract:
Objective To explore the clinical effect of low-dose bone cement injection in percutaneous vertebroplasty for treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures .Methods 41 cases of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures from February 2009 to February 2012 were treated with percutaneous vertebroplasty .The patients were divided into the low-dose group and the conventional dose group according to the amount of bone cement injection .The postoperative VAS score ,cement leakage rate ,verte-bral height restoration degree and incidence rate of adjacent segment fracture were observed ,evaluated and compared .Results The follow-up period ranged from 3 months to 15 months(average 11 .2 months) .The postoperative pain relief effect in the conventional dose group and the low dose group was similar .The vertebral height restoration rate of the conventional dose group was superior to that of the low-dose group .In the aspects of the bone cement leakage rate and adjacent segment vertebral secondary fracture ,the low-dose group was superior to the conventional dose group .Conclusion In the procedure of percutaneous vertebroplasty ,applying the low-dose bone cement injection can reach the satisfactory clinical effect ,at same time can effectively reduce the complication oc-currence rate of bone cement leakage and adjacent segments secondary fractures .
