Abstract:
The incidence of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) is increasing year by year. OVCF is manifested by thoracolumbar back pain, kyphosis and limitation of motion, which severely reduces the quality of life and life expectancy of the patients. It is often caused by minor violence with an insidious onset, and has a high rate of missed diagnoses on routine examination. Currently, percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) are effective treatments for OVCF, but postoperative complications such as cement leakage and vertebral re-fracture occur often. Digital orthopedic technology is an emerging interdisciplinary discipline that combines computer digital technology with orthopedic clinics. As a new orthopedic clinical technology, digital orthopedic technology is pushing the boundaries of spinal surgery research and clinical application due to its advantages in individualization, precision, and minimally invasiveness, and is currently at a rapid development stage with high endurance and high throughput. To this end, the authors outlined the current application of digital orthopedic technology in OVCF, so as to provide a reference for achieving rapid and accurate diagnosis of OVCF and formulating reasonable treatment plans.
