Abstract:
Objective To analyse the cement distribution after vertebroplasty and investigate the feasibility and clinical significance of its typing.Methods A retrospective case-series study examining the bone cement distribution on anteroposterior radiograph after vertebral augmentation was conducted on 1 324 patients (2 119 vertebrae) with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) from May 2009 to May 2016.Among the patients,due to refracture,147 patients suffered two or more surgeries with a vertebral refracture rate of 11.1％.One or more adjacent vertebrae refracture occurred in 105 patients with the adjacent vertebrae refracture rate of 7.9％.The vertebral body was split into four regions on the basis of the central vertical and bilateral pedicle of vertical line.According to the bone cement distribution in the four regions,there were five distribution types:type Ⅰ:1-4 regions;type Ⅱ:2-3 regions;type Ⅲ:1 and 4 regions;type Ⅳ:3 and 4 or 1 and 2 regions;type Ⅴ:1 or 4 regions.The X-ray of 40 patients was randomly typed by three orthopedics physicians,and the complication rate and refracture rate of adjacent vertebrae in each type were calculated.Credibility and repeatability analysis were performed.Results The average credibility of the typing was 92.5％.The Kappa coefficient was 0.850 on average.The repeatability of two times of typing was on average 95％,and the Kappa coefficient was 0.900 on average.From type Ⅰ to Ⅴ,there were 26 cases (3.5％),16 cases (4.5％),29 cases (7.3％),40 cases (9.9％),and 41 cases (18.1％) of adjacent vertebral refracture.There were 10 cases of the same vertebral refracture and 5 cases of scoliosis deformity in the type Ⅴ,with incidence rates of 4.4％ and 2.2％,respectively.Conclusions Being reliable and repeatable,the typing for cement distribution after vertebral augmentation is simple and practicable.The type Ⅳ and Ⅴ cement distribution carries higher risk of refracture in adjacent or the same vertebral body and long-term scoliosis than others types.
