Abstract:
Objective To evaluate percutaneous kyphoplasty in the treatment of fresh osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. Methods Thirty patients,aged 65 -81 years (mean 72 years),were enrolled in this prospective and consecutive Cohort study. All patients suffered from solitary fresh osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral compression fracture (T8 -L4) without neurological dysfunction. Percutaneous kyphoplasty with balloon dilatation was performed and a follow-up of 12 months was made. Results Significant improvement in kyphotic angle was obtained after the treatment,which was reduced from 12.5? before the surgery to 6.6? after the surgery. The visual analog scale concerning the back pain was also reduced from 8.2 before the surgery to 1.6 after the surgery. Conclusion For the treatment of fresh osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures,percutaneous kyphoplasty can achieve excellent therapeutic results.
